KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 — PAS secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan has urged the authorities to act against a gold-mining company in Kelantan if it didn’t have the correct paperwork to mine the land.
AYSB’s board of directors comprised five members, including former deputy Kelantan menteri besar Datuk Mohd Amar Abdullah, Kelantan state government financial officer Norazman Abdul Ghani, PAS secretary-general and Kota Baru MP Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, Yakin director Shamsul Abu Bakar, and Kadok assemblyman Azami Mohd Nor.
“All the money went to the state government. I was on the board as a nominee to find investors for the company and to eventually make it profitable, as I was also in the Kelantan state exco at the time. “So I did not make any money from it. AYSB needed to mine the areas it was allocated for gold. We signed an agreement with mining contractors where they were required to adhere to state laws on mining.
