Environmental crimes unit plan lauded


THE move to set up an environmental crimes unit to tackle illegal activities that harm the country’s natural resources and threaten the people’s well-being, as announced by Environment and Water Resources Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, is much welcomed, “Unit to be formed to tackle environmental crimes” (The Star, Sept 8).

In fact, this move is long overdue given the numerous cases of river pollution that have adversely affected huge segments of the population of late.
