Halt gold mine ops pending new Environmental Impact Assessment
Published on: Monday, June 02, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 02, 2025 Text Size: Sarifuddin (left) and the collapsed embankment of a retention pond at the gold mine caused waste water including sodium cyanide to overflow into a nearby river. TAWAU: Merotai assemblyman Sarifuddin Hata urged the State Government to immediately halt the operations of Wullersdorf Resources Sdn Bhd (WRSB)'s gold mining activities until a new Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report is released. This call follows a recent incident involving a suspected toxic spill of sodium cyanide-contaminated water from a retention pond, which overflowed into nearby worker quarters—a situation captured in a 1-minute 20-second video that went viral. Sarifuddin described the collapse of the pond's embankment as a serious incident that threatens the health and safety of nearby communities and raises concerns about the environmental impact on surrounding flora and fauna. 'We've been informed that this is not the first time such a breach has occurred at the gold mining site. The issue only came to light recently due to the viral video,' he told Daily Express.

Published on: Monday, June 02, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 02, 2025 By: Amir Anuar Text Size: ACP Jasmin said none of the police personnel were injured and that the authorities view such incidents very seriously. TAWAU: Five foreigners who rammed a police roadblock while attempting to flee at the Megah Industrial Zone at 8pm were arrested after a 45km high-speed chase last Wednesday. District Police Chief ACP Jasmin Hussin said the suspects, aged between 29 and 43, included the male driver, two male passengers, and two female passengers. 'The vehicle was ordered to stop by a team from the Police Patrol Car Unit (MPV) and Motorcycle Patrol Unit (URB), who were conducting a roadblock operation. 'However, the driver defied police instructions and attempted to escape by crashing through the checkpoint, prompting our officers to pursue them,' he said. The chase continued through several main roads including Jalan Timur, Kem Pengakap Tiku, Jalan Bunga Raya, Jalan Chong Thien Vun, and Jalan Apas, before it was eventually stopped at Batu 12, Jalan Apas. Upon inspection, police found none of the occupants, including the driver, could produce any identification. The driver did not possess a valid driving licence or road tax. The case is being investigated under Section 26(2) of the Police Act 1967 for fleeing a police checkpoint and Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of their duties. Investigations are also being carried out under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for unlawful entry and stay in the country without valid identification or travel documents. The driver is also being investigated under Section 26 and Section 23 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving without a valid licence and road tax. ACP Jasmin said none of the police personnel were injured and that the authorities view such incidents very seriously. 'We urge the public to fully cooperate with the police, especially during roadblocks,' he said.
