Sabah govt urged to consider villagers concerns amid gold prospecting talk in Ranau


KOTA KINABALU: A political group has called on Sabah government to listen to the concerns expressed by villagers in Ranau who are anxious over talk that a private company was looking to start a gold mine in the district.

This came after it was reported that hundreds of residents in Kampung Bongkud and Namaus, some 100km from here, held a public protest to oppose efforts on gold prospecting in their backyard earlier this week.
