‘Put the environment first’


The landslide in October 2017 at a construction site in Lengkok Lembah Permai, Tanjung Bungah, claimed 11 lives.

The Penang government has been urged to prioritise the environment first and listen to stakeholders’ concerns to prevent landslides and floods in the future.

Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) president Meenakshi Raman said it was important to put the environment above anything else before any development at high-risk areas could be approved.
