Ismail Sabri makes offer for UN-Habitat to set up office in KL

NEW YORK: The United Nations has been offered the opportunity to set up a UN-Habitat regional office in Kuala Lumpur so it can be “close” to the rapid process of urbanisation happening in South-East Asia.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said UN-Habitat should have an office in the Asean region as member countries are experiencing fast-paced development, which could also lead to environmental issues.
