Make clean environment a clear right in the Constitution, says CJ

PUTRAJAYA: Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria (pic) would like the Federal Constitution amended to expressly include a right to a clean and healthy environment.

"While our Federal Constitution does not specifically provide for such a right, it is implicit in Article 5, which guarantees the right to life," said Arifin at the Opening of the Legal Year 2017 Friday.
