PBS No 2 denies alleged links to Sabah mining scandal
Sabah rural development minister Jahid Jahim claimed certain parties were abusing news portals to fabricate false allegations of corruption, often before any official investigation had been held. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Parti Bersatu Sabah deputy president Jahid Jahim has denied allegations that he had accepted a RM150,000 bribe in the alleged mining scandal in the state. Jahid, who is the Sabah rural development minister, said the allegations published in a Malaysiakini report were unfounded and irresponsible, The Borneo Post reported. He maintained that he had never received funds for the approval or issuance of mining licences in the state and that his ministry was not responsible for processing such licences. 'As the assemblyman for Tamparuli, I wish to state unequivocally that no prospecting licence or any other licence related to mining has been approved or issued in my constituency,' said the four-term assemblyman. He claimed that certain parties were abusing news portals to fabricate false allegations of corruption, often before any official investigation had been held. 'This attempt by Malaysiakini to manufacture a false narrative is an outright violation of the law. It invites the public to pass judgment before the due process has run its course,' he said. He said he is seeking legal advice and reserves the right to pursue legal action against Malaysiakini and the two journalists involved in the report. The alleged scandal was reported last year after a series of videos linking several Sabah assemblymen to it were leaked. The videos allegedly depicted discussions involving bribery and misconduct related to mineral exploration projects in the state. Yesterday, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) president Jeffrey Kitingan denied a Malaysiakini report alleging he received RM1.78 million in connection with the alleged scandal. The deputy chief minister said he reserved the right to take legal action against the news portal over the 'irresponsible and damaging' report. This morning, Sabah assistant industrial development and entrepreneurship minister Andi Suryady Bandy, Sindumin assemblyman Yusof Yacob and businessman Albert Tei were charged with receiving and giving RM350,000 in bribes related to mineral prospecting licence applications in the state. Andi, of Umno, and Yusof, of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah, were charged with receiving RM200,000 and RM150,000 in bribes, respectively, while Tei was charged with giving the bribes.

Cops find no foul play, negligence in Putra Heights blaze
The blaze on April 1 saw flames soaring over 30m high with temperatures reaching up to 1,000 degrees Celsius. SHAH ALAM : Police have found no criminal elements following their investigations into the Putra Heights gas pipeline explosion and blaze on April 1. 'Based on our investigations, we found no elements of foul play, sabotage or negligence,' Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said at a press conference at the state government's office here today. Hussein said a special task force will be formed to decide who would be held responsible for the blaze as well as the next course of action. The occupational safety and health department (DOSH), which led the technical investigation into the incident, said certain segments of the pipeline gave way because of cyclic loading and insufficient support from the ground underneath. DOSH petroleum safety division director Husdin Che Amat said this was mainly caused by unstable ground conditions, leading to the physical failures at parts of the pipe, which then led to a gas leak and the blaze. 'The weak ground led to cyclic loading, which left stress lines and fatigue striations on the surface of the pipe. A metallography analysis showed that tensile overload was the main cause of the pipe's failure. 'This damage slowly spread, causing ductile failure which led to the leakage of gas, triggering the fire. 'In summary, the pipe failed because the condition of the ground underneath was not strong enough to support the weight and pressure of the pipe,' he said. The blaze on April 1 saw flames soaring over 30m high with temperatures reaching up to 1,000 degrees Celsius. There were no fatalities, but 150 victims had to seek treatment at hospitals. It took firefighters nearly eight hours to extinguish the blaze, which left a 10m-deep crater, measuring 21m by 24m. The fire destroyed 81 houses, with structural damage exceeding 40%. Another 81 houses were partially damaged, and 57 were affected but not burned.
