Activist puzzled by Jeffrey Kitingan’s statement on Sabah rainforest commitment


KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan should clarify his recent statement that the state was in the process of committing some two million hectares of rainforest to a 100-year carbon credit conservation project, says Adrian Lasimbang.

The indigenous rights activist said this was similar to the Nature Conservation Agreement (NCA) although Kitingan never made any direct reference to the controversial deal.
