State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin said that based on the EIA submitted for the proposed project to the state Environmental Protection Department on June 22, it provided for a sufficient buffer zone between the beach area and the project site.
"The final approval of the EIA report will only be issued after the project proponent agrees to all the environmental conditions that have been stipulated. Jafry also assured that he had requested that the EPD take into account environmental issues identified during the EIA assessment process following the application for approval.
The project had drawn concerns from five villages - namely Kampung Bangau, Andab Bangau, Andab Darat, Kimihang, and Longgom Kecil - whose residents said that the proposed project would be detrimental to the Pantai Bangau beach as well as the surrounding environment for the 1,000-over residents mainly comprising farmers and fishermen.
