Court equally concerned

Kota Kinabalu: The High Court Registrar of Sabah and Sarawak, Ismail Brahim, said the Court is equally concerned with the matters raised in the Daily Express front page report entitled 'Green Lung Gone; Human Lungs Affected' (March 5)."However, we wish to state that the project is managed and supervised by the Legal Affairs Division of the Prime Minister's Department, the Project Consultant and the appointed contractor," Brahim said in a statement.

"We are therefore in no position to respond to the environmental issues raised in the reports," Brahim concluded.

As always, the Daily Express responds invariably to such public interest.
