‘East coast to experience more sea-related issues’


PETALING JAYA: The east coast of Peninsular Malaysia will experience more sea-related problems than the west coast due to the stronger waves there during the monsoon season, according to experts.

“Also, the east coast coastline is highly prone to erosion because it is mostly sandy beaches,” said Universiti Malaysia Terengganu’s Dr Edlic Sathiamurthy.
