From blacksmiths to street food vendors, the country’s informal workforce fears it is being left behind by the green transition. Five workers tell their stories.
The appointment comes amid increasing public scrutiny over governance and pressure for institutional reform, which has resulted in protests demanding the removal of the incumbent over alleged corporate influence scandals.
The shipment are said to be over RM2.15 million (US$550,000) in value and found to be entering the country from Canada, Spain and Croatia, being falsely declared as copper concentrate.
The move reclassifies electronic waste under absolute prohibition to tighten border controls and curb environmental risks in the country amid recent corruption probes.
