“…Meanwhile, it is important to predict the impacts on the environment of the proposed project and effective measures to reduce such impacts by adopting the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) into the framework. EIA has been adopted as an interactive planning tool in Malaysia since 1976 through the Environment Quality Act (EQA) 1975 [ 39 ].

This study examines the sustainable transport policy framework in the case of railway development in Klang Valley, Malaysia. It is guided by the main principle that sustainable transport policy is a result of the integration of broad policy instruments that range from infrastructure provision and management, technological improvements, regulation, information, awareness, education, and pricing and taxation. Although this study is mainly qualitative, performance data available at the ASEAN Statistics Division, World Bank Open Data and Global Competitiveness Reports. This is followed by in-person interviews with experts who have vast knowledge, experience, and direct participation in sustainable railway development in Malaysia, especially those related to the Klang Valley development. The main findings have indicated that the current framework in Malaysia meets the criteria of sustainable development policy framework, which are essentially constituted within environmental protection. It also constitutes the pursuance of long-term growth in terms of economic and societal needs. Nonetheless, the rail-based transit system in Malaysia is highly driven by the Government and there is no clear sign indicating that the public is shifting from the road and private transport to rail-based services.

“…Li et al (2012), Maidin (2011) and Omar & Leh (2009) has collectively agreed that the public participation held for the Second Schedule activities were ineffective due to the rise of environmental issues in Malaysia. Additionally, the public participation administered for EIA are frequently applied late where the decisions have already been decided (Makmor and Ismail, 2016b;Alam, 2014). From a study by Makmor and Ismail (2014), the author concluded that ineffective public participation is also contributed by the attitude of each stakeholder in the process of EIA namely the consultants, the project proponents and also the public.…”

In 1975, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was promulgated in Malaysia after the enactment of Environmental Quality Act (EQA) in 1974. Although the EIA is integrated for nearly five decades, the effective public participation application for EIA remained scant in the Malaysian environment. This paper provides a comparative study on public participation application for EIA in Malaysia, Canada and New Zealand. This study is administered by analysing the current EIA process and EIA legislation pertaining to the public participation for EIA in the three countries via literature review. This paper examines the similarities and differences between the three countries on their application of public participation for EIA. It is paramount to examine the current application of public participation administered for EIA in the Malaysian environment with other developed countries to induce effective public participation for EIA in Malaysia.
