KUALA LUMPUR – An environmental expert has called for the government to table the proposed Climate Change Act (CCA) as soon as possible in the Parliament next year.

The Malaysian Ecological Association president Prof Ahmad Ismail said the pace of tabling and implementation of the new law is crucial in view of the current environmental issues globally and around the region.

“This needs to be done quickly by looking at all aspects of economy and industries, nature protection and wastes, political will and public participation,” he told The Vibes.

Stating that the new law has been long overdue since it was included in the 12th Malaysia Plan while the previous government had planned to table it in 2025, Ahmad said it is important that the new federal government be resolute on the matter with speed.
