KOTA KINABALU: All environmental concerns raised by villagers about a silica mining project close to a scenic beach in Kudat have been recorded in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study, says Phoong Jin Zhe.

The Sabah Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Minister told the state assembly earlier this week that the EIA process involved a comprehensive environmental impact study for the areas involved in Sikuati, as well as the nearby residents.
