KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 — Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah’s decree in Parliament today that disaster risk management needs to be emphasised by the government is timely and should be heeded seriously so that immediate planning can follow.
“This is because the issue of damage to planetary health is worsening and needs to be dealt with immediately as natural disasters are becoming more frequent, severe and tragic happening all over the world including Malaysia,” Zaini told Bernama when contacted. Meanwhile, Sahabat Alam Activists Association chairman Hafizudin Nasarudin said there are some areas exposed to the risk of disasters or known as geo-disaster zones, that are still not reserved or gazetted as protected areas.
Therefore, he suggested that the government needs to look at and re-identify geo-disaster areas that have not been gazetted so that further action can be taken to protect the area from inappropriate development.
