Shafie urges Sabah to drop controversial carbon credit deal

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah must scrap its carbon credit deal under the controversial Nature Conservation Agreement (NCA) as it was akin to giving up the state's rights over its forest, says Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

The Opposition Parti Warisan Sabah president said the deal signed by the state lacked transparency and had raised many concerns, including the question of whether it was true that a private company would take control of the management of Sabah's forests.
