KUALA LUMPUR: The government is reviewing a proposal to fully ban the use of asbestos, a material still widely used in the country despite its harmful effects on human health, says Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
"We will assess how this issue is currently managed under existing legislation and policies. If there are gaps, we may need to improve them," the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister said after the launch of his book, "Saving the Planet: Climate and Environmental Lessons from Malaysia and Beyond" here on Saturday (Jan 11).
