KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has proposed five governance improvements to tighten the approval process for prospecting licences in Sabah’s Land and Survey Department (JTU) and Sabah Mineral Management Sdn Bhd (SMM).

In a statement on Friday (Oct 24), MACC’s governance investigation division said the recommendations followed a review which identified one weakness in JTU and four in SMM.
