The Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act 2007 (Act 672) is one of Malaysia's key legislative frameworks, and was designed to address the shortcomings of waste management laws across Peninsular Malaysia and the Federal Territories, ensuring better coordination, enforcement and sustainability. What are some of the pressing issues Malaysia is facing when it comes to dealing with its waste, and how does this Act close the gaps or address inefficiencies in waste management here? We explore the history of Act 672, the reasons behind its introduction, and its applications here in the country with Khor Sue Yee (Co-founder and Director, Zero Waste Malaysia) and Tasha Sabapathy (Senior Programme and Communications Officer, Zero Waste Malaysia).
