Another royalty-linked mining project
A company with links to the Pahang royal family is planning to excavate iron from a degazetted forest reserve at Kuala Tembeling in Jerantut - which is home to several protected species, including the critically endangered Malayan Tiger.
The company is linked to Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah's younger sister, Tengku Nong Fatimah.

Malaysiakini reported that the monarch's aunt, Tengku Hanizar Tengku Muhammad, co-owned a company that plans to mine minerals near Tasik Chini, in Pekan.
Both projects had appointed Golden Prosperous Resources Sdn Bhd as the contractor.
