    Malaysia extended its bauxite mining ban for three months
    from December 31.
    Implemented April 15, the move could cut inventories
    of aluminum production feedstock in China, the top purchaser.

    In the past two years, Malaysia's bauxite mining industry has basically been in a state of barbaric growth, and there is basically no supervision
    from the government.
    The booming mining industry not only meets the huge demand of China, the number one aluminum producer, but also fills the huge demand gap
    created by Indonesia's ban on bauxite exports.
    This barbaric growth has also caused great damage to Malaysia's ecological environment, and water pollution is extremely serious
    .
    Growing public opposition has forced the Malaysian government to intervene in the bauxite mining industry
    .

    Kuantan, the capital of Pahang, Malaysia's third-largest state and key bauxite producer, has seen rapid mining activities over the past two years to meet demand from China
    , the number one aluminium producer.
    But the frenzied mining has led to an uproar, with many complaining about water pollution and environmental damage
    .

    Malaysia's Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, said the cabinet today agreed to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment's proposal
    to extend the Kuantan bauxite mining ban for three months.
    He added that Kuantan's existing bauxite stocks must be exported before the ban can be lifted
