KOTA KINABALU: The forestry sector’s development in Sabah, especially forest plantations, should not be viewed as a contributor to deforestation, says Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

This is because, according to the Chief Minister, it is carried out in compliance with the forest plantation development plan approved by the Sabah Forestry Department as well as thorough environmental protection requirements.
