•  LEGISLATION in the ACT that protects the
environment from pollu5on and its effects.
This legisla5on is the ACT. The Act provides
the regulatory framework to help reduce and
eliminate the discharge of pollutants into the
air, land and water.
•  In order to cope with the environmental problems, the
Government of Malaysia has passed some important
environmental laws and policies such as the Environment
Quality Act 1974 and its Regula5ons 1989, the
Environmental Quality Order 1989, the Protec5on of
Wildlife Act, the Na5onal Forestry Act 1984, the Fisheries
Act 1985, the Na5onal Parks Act 1980, the Interna5onal
Environmental Laws etc. In addi5on to that, the Civil Law
Act 1972, the Principles of the English Laws, the Federal
Law, Shariah Laws, the Adat Temenggung (Malay
Customary Laws) with some interna5onal environmental
obliga5ons etc; have also been implemented in order to
aVain sustainable environment and development in the
country. (Mohammad et al., 2011)
