GEORGE TOWN: The Department of Environment (DOE) and state government should be held equally responsible for not stopping the project in Tanjung Bungah where a landslide occurred, said the Tanjung Bungah Residents Association.

Its chairman Meenaksi Raman said the DOE should have acted to stop the project after it had rejected the planning permission in January 2015.
