EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, the natural resources and environment minister has announced on Thursday December 22  that bauxite mining ban is extended by another three months  effective from  31 December  at a press conference.

News
In January, Malaysia levied first of its three months ban on bauxite mining activities which further extended by three month. The moratorium on bauxite mining, slated to end on December 31 yet again is extended by government.

Bauxite mining operation was suspended on 15 January 2016 in order to clean up environmental damages caused by mining activities in the region after getting  public complains for turning waters red. The decision to extend mining ban came after the minister had conducted an aerial inspection of bauxite mining sites like Felda Bukit Kuantan and Kuantan Port on December 21 and found heaps of bauxite in a number of mining sites.
