'The focus is on cracking down on illegal decanting activities and preventing misuse of subsidised LPG by medium and large-scale industries. "LPG suppliers are allowed to continue supplying subsidised LPG cylinders to existing customers, including food and beverage vendors, even if they do not yet have a PBKB," he said in a statement. During the campaign, officers will focus on advocacy and compliance at F&B outlets, with no legal action taken for missing permits. Businesses exceeding the limit are urged to apply via BLESS 2.0, while suppliers may continue deliveries to existing customers without a PBKB. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

AuMas secures second injunction to safeguard tailings facility
Published on: Friday, May 30, 2025 Published on: Fri, May 30, 2025 Text Size: TAWAU: AuMas Resources Berhad has obtained a second court injunction to prevent further interference with critical safety works at its Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) in Tawau, following a disruption on May 17 allegedly led by Datuk Lo Fui Ming and Southsea Gold Sdn Bhd. The High Court's order, granted on May 29, restrains the defendants from obstructing rectification works and grants AuMas' subsidiary, Wullersdorf Resources, full access to carry out repairs. The facility's safety was compromised after unauthorised machinery blocked drains and redirected water flow. Despite emergency repairs, AuMas claims the efforts were sabotaged in defiance of Mineral and Geoscience Department (JMG) directives. The company now moves forward with legally protected rectification under JMG and Environment Protection Department (EPD) oversight. AuMas reaffirmed its commitment to environmental compliance and operational integrity, vowing to pursue all legal avenues to protect its mining operations. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
