The controversial Nature Conservation Agreement (NCA) between the Sabah government and a little-known Singaporean firm is non-binding in its current form and is subject to further due diligence, said the state’s attorney-general Nor Asiah Mohd Yusof.

Other conditions include that an addendum is added to the agreement to remove all “unfair and absurd” contract terms, to identify and obtain the free prior informed consent from all affected native communities as well as to identify and ascertain the ‘designated area’.
