Critical mineral development will be done on our terms, says Zafrul


KUALA LUMPUR: Any development involving strategic national resources, including rare earth elements (REE) and other critical minerals, will have to strictly adhere to domestic laws and safeguard national sovereignty, says Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

The Investment, Trade and Industry Minister dismissed allegations that Malaysia was compromising its long-standing policy by allowing the export of raw critical minerals to the United States for short-term gains.
