This site is designed to provide quick information related to environmental
regulation, such as in scheduled waste management. We hope to bring about
awareness to waste generators the legislative requirement of Malaysia's
government in issues such as notification, treatment, disposal, recovery,
inventory record, labeling and storage of scheduled wastes. For more
information, please refer to the website of Department of Environment
Malaysia at http://www.doe.gov.my
