MACC announces withdrawal of the bauxite seizure order

EDITED BY : HEENA IQBAL 2MINS READ

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has decided to withdraw seizure order on 10 million tonnes of bauxite stockpile in Pahang. The decision was made following the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry (NRE), Department of Minerals and Geoscience and the state government agreed to introduce new rules to restrict illegal bauxite mining activities.

MACC deputy chief commissioner (Operations) Datuk Azam Baki said: "It is also hoped that the decision will help in bringing down incidences of graft and abuse of power, especially those related to bauxite mining activities in the state.”

"The withdrawal of the bauxite seizure order is to enable miners to remove their stockpiles while the moratorium is still in force.”

Currently, the moratorium on bauxite mining in Pahang is in place until December 31, 2017.

“It must be noted that the withdrawal is not tantamount to allowing new mining activities to take place in the state."

He further added “if any party is found to be involved in illegal bauxite mining, action will be taken against them under the MACC Act 2009 and the Penal Code."

In August, MACC had seized 10 million tonnes of bauxite stockpile worth RM1.28 billion. The areas where bauxite stockpiles were seized are located in Felda Bukit Goh and Kuantan Port.
