The high court in Malaysia’s Perak state ruled on Monday that the dam developers had failed to properly consult with or gain the consent of the Semai before beginning construction on their land in the village, or kampung, of Ulu Geruntum, in the town of Gopeng.

That’s about 4,080 tonnes of perfectly edible food discarded every day.

August 07, 2024Last month, Malaysia announced its bold plan to phase out its coal-fired power plants, aiming to cut their number by half by 2035 and fully retire them by 2044. This ambitious move is part of the government’s mission to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. While the plan sounds promising, its real-world execution could be a different story.
