Investigate illegal gold mining operations in Tawau, assemblyman urges Mineral and Geoscience Dept


KOTA KINABALU: A state assemblyman has threatened to lodge another report regarding an alleged illegal gold mining operation in Tawau, if the Mineral and Geoscience Department (JMG) refuses to investigate this matter.

Merotai assemblyman Sarifuddin Hata who lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over this issue earlier December, last year, said a probe must be done, more so after Customs officials seized gold bars from the Tawau airport on Feb 6.
