IN the wake of Sarawak’s catastrophic floods, WWF-Malaysia warns that climate change and unchecked development are pushing the state to a tipping point.

“The surge in extreme weather isn’t random – it’s a collision of global heating and poor land planning,” said Lavanya Rama Iyer, the organisation’s policy and climate change director.
