Proposed carbon capture bill not applicable to Sabah, says Jeffrey

The proposed Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Bill to be tabled in Parliament later this year will not be applicable to Sabah, said Deputy Chief Minister I Jeffrey Kitingan.

The state agriculture, fisheries and food industry minister said there was a clear separation of jurisdiction constitutionally, that both land and forestry matters were state matters under the State List and under the purview of the Sabah government.
