Gold in Sungai Siput

GOLD is reported to have been found in Sungai Siput but if you are in Perak do not rush to Sungai Siput with all your gold digging and panning tools. The Sungai Siput reported by the press where locals are panning for gold is near Setiu in Terengganu.
There are also claims that gold has been found in Sungai Siput, PERAK, however, the State Government needed permission from the Federal Government before carrying out any mining as a freeze on such activities had been announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The other question is whether gold mining here is viable and cost effective.
See the two Sungai Siput reports here and here.

Just like there are more than one Sungai Siput, there are more than one Kota Bharu!
