Proper planning: Helen says the government and companies need to be thinking not just of their ‘return on investment but also their return on value’

PETALING JAYA: Tighter vetting and enforcement are needed to tackle climate change that is causing natural disasters like the frequent floods occurring in the country, says the Academy of Sciences (ASM).

Council member Dr Helen Nair said the government should be stricter and insist that those in the construction sector show how their projects would not harm the environment.
