assess any impact the development would have on the existing Project Site and its
surroundings. Subsequently, the Terms of Reference (TOR) has been submitted to the
Department of Environment (DOE) on 4th April 2019.

This EIA is an essential tool in assessing the overall impact of the proposed Project on
the environment. The assessment would assist in ensuring the successful integration of
the proposed development with the existing environment and consequently resulting in a
development, which is environmentally sustainable. Thus, the brief introduction on the
proposed Project in this chapter would be expanded upon in the consecutive chapters
with the following objectives:
 Suitability of site for the proposed Project;

 Establish the existing environment which is important as baseline information for
monitoring the impacts to the environment;
 Outline the proposed development i.e., the components of the proposed Project;
 Identify the potential impacts (i.e. with reference to the DoE Guidelines) from the
proposed developments in terms of individual components or as a whole;
 Propose mitigation measures for the identified potential impacts to prevent or
minimize adverse and irreversible impacts;
 Outline an environmental management plan to address impacts which may arise from

1.3.2 Conformance of proposed project to government’s development

plans
1.3.2.1 National Physical Plan 3 (NPP 3)
In the NPP3 Core No. 1 (Action PD1.1A- Intensifying urban development in current
growth areas), the growth areas that have been identified are the conurbation area,
development promotion zone, and catalyst center. There are six (6) conurbation areas
i.e., four (4) in Peninsular Malaysia and two (2) in Sabah & Sarawak. There are also

seventeen (17) development promotion zone (ZPP) i.e., twelve (12) in Peninsular
Malaysia and five (5) in Sabah & Labuan. On the other hand, there are forty eight (48)
catalyst center i.e., thirty seven (37) in Peninsular Malaysia and eleven in Sabah &
Labuan. Based on the Figure 1.7, the proposed industrial and commercial development
is located near to the catalyst center (i.e., Kulim). As for the catalyst center area, the
focus is to generate growth of the economic sector.
The proposed development compliments the National Physical Plan 3 (NPP3) which
adheres to the policies of Establishment of a Dynamic Town and Rural areas (PD) &
Formation of Inclusive & Liveable Communities (KI) below:
PD1.4A – Stimulating the growth of Main Industrial Cluster

Industrial development tends to be targeted at nearby town areas and ports. Location for
industrial development nearby town will encourage thus strengthen industrial cluster
growth from time to time.
There are many industrial cluster growth including food and beverages, clothing and
textile, paper and printing, chemical, rubber and plastics, fabrication of basic metals,
non-metallic mineral products, electrical and electronics (E&E) goods, machinery and
equipment, furniture, transport and other industries.
Development of industrial clusters, such as chemical industries, E&E, machinery and

equipment will be the main focus as these industries will contribute significantly to total
production value. Other industries including chemical, E&E, machinery and equipment
will contribute to the strengthening of industrial cluster by value added chain whilst
stimulating other supporting industries within the vicinity.
PD1.4C – Promoting Integration of New Industrial Planning

Planning of industrial areas should take into account research of new innovation
technologies including the world’s market demand. The modifications will change the
manufacturing patterns and operations of the manufacturing sector.
The development and planning of industrial areas should consider global trends and
potential implications that will change the patterns of the industrial development in
Malaysia. Therefore, equipped with infrastructures and utilities with upgrade facilities,
high technology and environmental friendly facilities provided at the new industrial area
to accommodate changes in the development patterns and transformations, such as-

1. Transfer of complex manufacturing to rapid engineering and advanced

manufacturing techniques;
2. New innovation and technology;
3. Sustainable manufacturing and circular economy; and
4. Manufacturing process based on human-centric manufacturing.
1.3.4 Kedah Structure Plan (KSP) 2020

Industry, B3-Medium and B4- Light Industry.

1.3.5.1 Regional Plan (inter-state planning)
The proposed development is located within the state of Kedah and there is no inter-
state planning involved.
1.3.5.2 Guidelines on Environmental Essentials for Siting of Industries in Malaysia

(EESIM)
The project shall comprise of a heavy industry development (Green Paper Industry Park).
Thus, appropriate sized buffer zones (i.e., there is a residential area, i.e., Kg. Padang
Meha within its proximity of 300m as shown in Figure 1.6) shall be provided and
designated to abide by the requirements of the Department of Environment document
“Environmental Essentials for Siting of Industries in Malaysia (EESIM)”. This involves
setting primary and secondary buffer zone in order to meet overall buffer zone
requirements for heavy industry. The nearest house in Kg. Padang Meha, located
approximately 3m (existing Jalan Kg. Padang Meha) east from the Project Site boundary.
In doing so, the concern regarding potential disturbances to the neighbouring residential
areas during construction and future industrial operations should be studied. To comply
it, additional buffer (secondary) within the Proposed Project Site should be allocated.
1.3.5.3 Current Development Policy
In the Eleventh Malaysian Plan 2016-2020, the Government has defined six strategic
thrusts to help Malaysia stay ahead of the challenges and opportunities of the fast-
changing global and political landscape. These thrusts aim to comprehensively address
the end-to-end needs of the citizen and the nation. The six strategic thrusts defined as
per below:-
i. Enhancing inclusiveness towards an equitable society

ii. Improving wellbeing for all
iii. Accelerating human capital development for an advanced nation
iv. Pursuing green growth for sustainability and resilience
v. Strengthening infrastructure to support economic expansion
vi. Re-engineering economic growth for greater prosperity
Besides, the Government has also identified six game changers, which are innovative
approaches to accelerate Malaysia’s development that once successfully applied, will

fundamentally change the trajectory of the country’s growth. The six game changers
listed as per below:-
i. Unlocking the potential of productivity
ii. Uplifting B40 households towards a middle-class society
iii. Enabling industry-led Technical and Vocational Education and Training
(TVET)
iv. Embarking on green growth
v. Translating innovation to wealth
vi. Investing in competitive cities
The Eleventh Plan not only marks the culmination of a 30-year journey towards Vision
2020; it also sets the stage for the next horizon of growth. Post-2020, the challenge will
be to raise the bar even higher on the country’s growth prospects along three
dimensions, namely economy, people, and environment.
The economy will be progressive, inclusive, and adaptable for the future, with highly
productive world class cities and thriving rural areas. All Malaysians will be able to
participate in and benefit from the country’s growth, and enjoy an elevated state of
wellbeing. Malaysians will be passionate stewards of the environment and no longer see
environmental protection as a trade-off to a strong economy, making Malaysia a truly
beautiful place to live for all.
