SINGAPORE: A practising lawyer found himself standing sheepishly in the dock of the State Courts on Wednesday (Nov 6), after an alcohol-fuelled night out at Zouk nightclub in 2022.
Sabah is updating its Timber Legality Assurance System to meet the European Union’s Deforestation Regulation and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, thereby boosting the global credibility of its timber products.
"Sabah is committed to enhancing the credibility of our timber products on the global stage, but we must also be realistic and pragmatic in our approach, given that we are still a developing country. Sabah continues to lead efforts to preserve its forests, with 63% of the state’s land area under forest cover, and plans to designate 30%, approximately 2.2mil hectares, as Totally Protected Areas by 2025.
The updated TLAS will enable Sabah to meet evolving EU market requirements, facilitating access to the world’s largest trade bloc.
