KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has opened an investigation paper on misappropriation and abuse of power involving a menteri besar on the mining of rare earth elements (REE) believed to be illegal which caused losses to the state government. An MACC source said the issue of illegal mining and loss of rare earth revenue was reported by several non-governmental organisations including Gerakan Anti-Sanusi (GAS) in March and several residents in Bukit Enggang Sik where large scale illegal mining was carried out before it was busted by the authorities.
