Abidin (middle) explains the actual situation about the gold mining issue to the people.
RANAU: Only prospecting licence has been issued to the company implicated in gold mining in Kg Bongkud and Namaus and not licence for digging up.
Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister, Datuk Abidin Madingkir,regretted that in social media, it is actually portrayed that the mining licence has been already issued.
