PROGRAMMES
Recent phenomena such as haze, poor drinking water quality, leachate contamination, improper disposal of solid waste and wastewater, and many others have attracted local, regional and global attention.
This programme aims to fulfil the country’s need to manage, conserve and protect the environment for sustainable use. The concept of ‘green technology’ under the National Green Technology Policy has been formed and adopted by the government to focus on four pillars – Energy, Environment, Economy and Social – in order to drive the national growth.
Moreover, ‘prescribed activities’ as classified under the Malaysian Environmental Quality Act 1974, require Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports to be presented and approved by the authorities. They need to be monitored closely by various stakeholders in order to ensure that their implementation adheres to the stipulated regulations. The need for individuals trained in EIA and other environmental technology-related fields are in line with the government’s desire to improve the environmental quality and minimise the environmental impact on society.
