Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said the state government was deeply saddened and regretful over the landslide incident that claimed the lives of two men aged 32 and 38 while they were carrying out gold mining activities at the Kampung Jerimbong oil palm estate in Kuala Balah, Jeli. He said the tragic incident proved that illegal mining activities not only violate the law, but also pose major risks to lives, safety and environmental sustainability.
‘Monitoring operations, intelligence gathering and field enforcement actions are continuously being intensified to curb the illegal exploitation of natural resources in a firmer and more effective manner. ‘Individuals or parties involved in extracting natural resources without valid licences and approvals may face action under the Kelantan State Mineral Enactment and related laws without any compromise,’ he said in a statement on Thursday (May 21).
Mohamed Fadzli also reminded all parties to comply with the stipulated operating procedures and safety requirements, in addition to obtaining valid permits and approvals before carrying out any mining activities.
‘The obsession with seeking profit must not override concerns for safety and compliance with the law,’ he said. Meanwhile, he also expressed appreciation to the Royal Malaysia Police, the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia and all rescue personnel involved in the operation at the incident site. Earlier on Thursday, two men were confirmed dead after being buried in a landslide at a tributary area near the Jerimbong oil palm estate in Jeli on Wednesday (May 20).
