Environment must be in top ten

I WOULD like to personally congratulate the people of Malaysia and Pakatan Harapan’s team for their tremendous work and what must have been a huge amount of sacrifice in enabling a new era of political transformation.

But I was shocked that the environment was not identified as one of the 10 core cabinet portfolios in our country. Malaysia, after all, is recognised as one of the 12 mega-diverse countries in the world, boasting a rich biodiversity heritage.
