Legislation is related to the prevention, abatement, control
of pollution and enhancement of the environment.
In Malaysia, any environmental issue have to refer with
Environmental Quality Act 1974 (EQA 1974)
Industrial activities are required to obtain the following
approvals from the Director General of Environmental
Quality:
EIA reports (for prescribed activities);
Site suitability evaluation (for non-prescribed activities);
Written permission to construct;
Written approval for installation of incinerator, fuel burning
equipment and chimney;
License to use and occupy (for prescribed premises)
Environmental Quality Act
“ This act provides for the prevention, abatement, and control of
pollution through licensing, and mandates the conducting of an
Environmental Assessment Report for proposed public and
private sector projects to determine and prevent or prepare for
the environmental consequences of the project. It was brought
into effect with the implementation of a subsequent set of
specific regulations and laws”
