Malaysia needs a green revolution | The Malaysian Insight

ENVIRONMENT Day was celebrated worldwide on June 5 and the sad reality is in Malaysia we are still very much backward in protecting the environment. It is time for some reflection.

Jobs were created in many industries where the preservation of environment was not a major criterion. Large acres of forest were cleared for palm oil plantation contributing to greenhouse gases.Instead of a national car of false pride we should have created an efficient public transport system that would have brought down pollutions in our cities and safeguarded the health and wellbeing of Malaysians.

The PH government was no better since it was made up politicians who prefer to work within the frame of new-liberal economics with improvement here and there. Business owners are ensuring operations are as lean as possible to mitigate loses by laying off workers, retrenchment and unpaid leave. Embarking on energy efficiency projects, green procurement, better management of water resources and upgrading to digital technology would have saved substantial costs for business operations.
