Lecturers question efficacy of buffer zones amid Pasir Gudang health crisis

02 July 2019

Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Zaly Shah Muhammad Hussein said merely having a wider buffer zone would not be a cure-all solution, as it was only effective in preventing certain types of pollutions such as noise and water pollutions. The factories, he said, could also request that they not be involved in forking out the cost for the buffer zone.

“However, the existing laws should also be reviewed in detail before any action is taken to prevent the legal action,” he said. Shazmin added that Malaysia could refer to the concept of an industrial buffer zone adopted by the Wollongong City Council in Australia, where the heavy industrial sector had little to no impact on nearby residential areas, public recreational areas and the environment.
