Act without fear or favour, enforcement agencies told [Malaysia]

State Environment and Public Health Minister Datuk Amar James Wong Kim Min [Sarawak state, Malaysia] is disappointed with the performance of local councils and government enforcement agencies. He said he was not satisfied with their enforcement activities in dealing with environmental problems, illegal felling of trees and the killing of wildlife. "It is pointless to have regulations and laws if the enforcement agencies do not have the courage and political will to enforce them."
