Illegal buildings and structures prone to exacerbating floods, says ACAM


PETALING JAYA: Public awareness and participation towards stopping the construction of buildings without prior approval from local authorities is required to achieve climate resilient development for Malaysia, says the Association of Consulting Architects Malaysia (ACAM).

In a statement Friday (Jan 21), ACAM urged the public to adopt a positive mindset towards embracing this concept as the way forward for the nation, especially considering the aftermath of the devastating floods in December 2021.
