Environmental Impact Assessment Process in Malaysia IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE © ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PROCESS IN MALAYSIA Farah Binti Mohd Shahwahid An Academic Project submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Masters of Laws 2008 1111lliil1li1ii�11l1iiffli!ll1il�il�111 A513421907 11111 Abstract The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been established as a mandatory requirement in Malaysia with the introduction of Section 34A to the Environmental Quality Act 1974(EQA) and its subsidiary legislation Environment Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Order 1987. This study critically examines the implementation and enforcement of public participation in the Malaysian EIA process. This is done by reviewing the provisions in the EIA laws and guidelines, court decisions on public participation as well as information gathered from the stakeholders interview. The major finding of this study is that while public participation is implemented in the EIA process, the existing level of implementation and enforcement is inadequate. Amendments to the legal provisions and better enforcement of the procedural requirements should be implemented to remedy this predicament. Steps should be taken to improve access to justice by relaxing the requirement for locus standi. Malaysia should adopt the provisions of the Aarhus Convention on public participation in environmental matters and emulate the measures taken by countries with effective public participation in the EIA process. Enforcement of these measures will ensure that that Malaysians may exercise their right to public participation in the EIA process in a meaningful manner. lV Abstrak Di Malaysia, Penilaian Kesan kepada Alam Sekitar (EIA) merupakan satu syarat wajib apabila Seksyen 34A Akta Kualiti Alam Sekeliling 197 4 dan undang-undang subsidiarinya iaitu Perintah Kualiti Alam Sekeliling (Aktiviti yang Ditetapkan) Penilaian Kesan kepada Alam Sekeliling) 1987 digubal. Kajian ini mengkaji secara mendalam pelaksanaan dan penguatkuasaan terhadap penyertaan awam di dalam proses EIA di Malaysia dengan menyemak peruntukkan-peruntukkan undang­ undang EIA dan garis panduan serta keputusan-keputusan mahkamah berkaitan kes-kes melibatkan isu penyertaan. awam. Maklumat yang diperolehi daripada temeubaul bersama pihak-yang terlibat juga memainkan peranan penting. Penemuan utama kajian ini adalah walaupun· penyertaan awam diamalkan dalam proses EIA, pelaksanaan dan· penguatkuasaannya adalah berkurangan. Bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini, pindaan undang-undang serta pelaksanaan yang lebih berkesan perlu dilakukan. Langkah-langkah- untuk mempermudahkan masyrakat untuk mendapat keadilan di mahkamah perlu diambil. Malaysia perlu mengambil contoh daripada kandungan Konvensyen Aarhus dan negara-negara yang berjaya menjalankan penglibatan awam dengan berkesan dalam proses EIA. Langkah­ langkah ini perlu diambil untuk memastikan rakyat Malaysia dapat menjalankan hak mereka untuk menglibatkan diri dalam proses EIA secara berkesan.

  • The Provider-Based Evaluation (Probe) 2014 Preliminary Report
    The Provider-Based Evaluation (ProBE) 2014 Preliminary Report I. Background of ProBE 2014 The Provider-Based Evaluation (ProBE), continuation of the formerly known Malaysia Government Portals and Websites Assessment (MGPWA), has been concluded for the assessment year of 2014. As mandated by the Government of Malaysia via the Flagship Coordination Committee (FCC) Meeting chaired by the Secretary General of Malaysia, MDeC hereby announces the result of ProBE 2014. Effective Date and Implementation The assessment year for ProBE 2014 has commenced on the 1 st of July 2014 following the announcement of the criteria and its methodology to all agencies. A total of 1086 Government websites from twenty four Ministries and thirteen states were identified for assessment. Methodology In line with the continuous and heightened effort from the Government to enhance delivery of services to the citizens, significant advancements were introduced to the criteria and methodology of assessment for ProBE 2014 exercise. The year 2014 spearheaded the introduction and implementation of self-assessment methodology where all agencies were required to assess their own websites based on the prescribed ProBE criteria. The key features of the methodology are as follows: ● Agencies are required to conduct assessment of their respective websites throughout the year; ● Parents agencies played a vital role in monitoring as well as approving their agencies to be able to conduct the self-assessment; ● During the self-assessment process, each agency is required to record

  • The Dominant Anopheles Vectors of Human Malaria in the Asia-Pacific
    Sinka et al. Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:89 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/4/1/89 RESEARCH Open Access The dominant Anopheles vectors of human malaria in the Asia-Pacific region: occurrence data, distribution maps and bionomic précis Marianne E Sinka1*, Michael J Bangs2, Sylvie Manguin3, Theeraphap Chareonviriyaphap4, Anand P Patil1, William H Temperley1, Peter W Gething1, Iqbal RF Elyazar5, Caroline W Kabaria6, Ralph E Harbach7 and Simon I Hay1,6* Abstract Background: The final article in a series of three publications examining the global distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria is presented here. The first publication examined the DVS from the Americas, with the second covering those species present in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Here we discuss the 19 DVS of the Asian-Pacific region. This region experiences a high diversity of vector species, many occurring sympatrically, which, combined with the occurrence of a high number of species complexes and suspected species complexes, and behavioural plasticity of many of these major vectors, adds a level of entomological complexity not comparable elsewhere globally. To try and untangle the intricacy of the vectors of this region and to increase the effectiveness of vector control interventions, an understanding of the contemporary distribution of each species, combined with a synthesis of the current knowledge of their behaviour and ecology is needed. Results: Expert opinion (EO) range maps, created with the most up-to-date expert knowledge of each DVS distribution, were combined with a contemporary database of occurrence data and a suite of open access, environmental and climatic variables.
