Crash: River cut off to contain oil spill
Published on: Friday, July 25, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 25, 2025 By: Azmie Lim Text Size: The tanker lorry landed on its side after the accident. LAHAD DATU: A 39-year-old man was injured after his tanker was involved in an accident at Jalan Sabahan along Jalan Lahad Datu-Tawau, here, Thursday. District Fire and Rescue Chief Sumsoa Rashid said his department received a distress call on the incident at 9.03am. A team of Fire and Rescue personnel was deployed to the scene in two fire engines and an EMRS vehicle. 'Upon arrival, the team reported that a tanker loaded with 10,000 litres of petrol was involved in an accident. 'The driver who was conscious and injured was on the road shoulder and given initial treatment before being handed over to the Ministry of Health for further action,' he said. According to Sumsoa, the accident resulted in leaking and spillage of petrol on the tanker. The team carried out zoning at the location, about 100 feet from the tanker, as well as foam spray of the entire tanker. The spilled petrol had flowed towards a nearby pond and the team contacted the tanker's company for further action. The operation was assisted by two heavy machines - a backhoe and an excavator - from the Pan Borneo contractor. The heavy machinery closed the small river to control the spill and stabilised the tanker to avoid continuous petrol spillage. The team handed over the operation to the tanker's company after the situation at the location was under control and called off the operation. * 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?

No prospecting licence issued to Farhash-linked firm, says Sabah land dept
Sabah lands and surveys department director Bernard Liew said allegations claiming that Bumi Suria Sdn Bhd had been awarded a mineral prospecting licence in Sabah are baseless. PETALING JAYA : The Sabah lands and surveys department maintains that no mineral prospecting licence had been issued to Bumi Suria Sdn Bhd, the company linked to businessman Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak. The department's director, Bernard Liew, said no prospecting licence was awarded to the company under the Sabah Mining Ordinance 1960 and that allegations claiming otherwise were baseless. He added that the department was the authoritative body governing mining in the Bornean state. 'Any mineral exploration activity in Sabah can only be conducted after obtaining a legitimate licence issued under Sections 6 and 8 of the Sabah Mining Ordinance. 'And this is subject to technical conditions and other relevant laws that are already in place. The department views seriously any statement made via the media that can mislead the public,' he said in a statement. MalaysiaNow previously reported that Sabah Mineral Management Sdn Bhd (SMM) had awarded Bumi Suria an exploration licence for coal mining. The report said it had been granted exclusive rights to explore and search for minerals on 70,000ha of forest reserve in Kalabakan and Gunung Rara near the Kalimantan border. In a statement to FMT, SMM CEO Natasha Sim said the state government agency was not a licence-awarding body, nor did it have jurisdiction to award or issue licences. On Monday, Farhash said his lawyers had served MalaysiaNow with a cease and desist letter, saying allegations that he owned Bumi Suria and that the company had been awarded a mineral prospecting or exploration licence in Sabah were false and defamatory. The lawyers said Farhash was merely a director and shareholder of Bumi Suria, and demanded that the article be removed from the website and all social media channels.

According to a source, initial investigations found that the suspects, a man and a woman in their 20s and 30s, respectively, were suspected of abetting in the act of corruption from 2022 until now. 'The arrests of the suspects follow five recent arrests.

Sources said the two suspects were arrested between 7pm and 8pm last night after giving their statements at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office here. Sabah MACC director S Karunanithy confirmed the arrests when contacted and said more individuals could be detained in the near future.
