DEALING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
PREPARING A FRAMEWORK FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, POLICY
AND LAWS IN MALAYSIA
Nor Asiah Mohamad*
ABSTRACT
Much has been said about the environment,
nevertheless, much of the action has yet to be seen
to materialize. Even, endeavours currently in
implementation do not seem to promise any good
results. Yet, all seem to agree that mankind is the main
cause of the destruction and losses. Man comes and
goes. The present laws and policies never caveat any
progress or improvement. It is mooted in this paper
that what is needed for the future is simply education.
A good educational system will ensure that each
individual, layman or professional, goes through
the same process of receiving information and
knowledge. In this paper; it is submitted that Islam
lays a good foundation for teaching and learning
about the environment. Man-made laws alone are
insufficient to create consistent awareness and
consciousness as far as a duty to take good care of
the environment is concerned. Natures is a great gift
Assistant Professor, Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International
Islamic University Malaysia.
