SIA requirement sounds good but . . .


THE WhatsApp message was from London. It was a photo of The Star’s article that appeared the same day, accompanied by this message, “There’s hope yet!”

The article in question was headlined “SIA report a must for all development”. It quoted Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar as saying that all development projects henceforth must have a social impact assessment (SIA) report before they can be considered.
