KOTA KINABALU: Environmental groups and state leaders want Sabah to assert its rights before the Climate Change Bill is tabled in Parliament this year or risk losing control of its carbon assets, just as it did with oil and gas.
They warn that without firm state legislation in place, Sabah may be forced to comply with federal climate policies drafted without its full input, repeating past mistakes that cost the state control over petroleum, palm oil, and its territorial seas.
