RANAU: Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (PKAN) President Datuk Henrynus Amin called for an immediate freeze on all mineral exploration licence applications.

His call follows investigations into alleged mining scandal involving businessmen, government officials and assemblymen.

The accusations have resulted in charges against two suspects and a businessman by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

He alleged a systemic lack of transparency and highly irregular practices in the approval processes for minerals, timber and land concessions. 

“Existing police reports and NGO submissions,” he insists, “provide ample justification for a full-scale probe.”
