‘Concerns of villagers taken into account during EIA study’


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

Sabah Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Phoong Jin Zhe 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.
