The Murum Dam Court case

The cultural characteristic of the Malaysian people is another factor that cannot be ignored as it assumes a crucial role in the way environmental rules and regulations are being enforced.
Malaysians are known to suppress their inner feelings in order to avoid criticism, conflict, disagreement and controversy in conducting all interpersonal relations in a smooth and unthreatening manner.
The Southeast Asian style of dealing with unpleasant or
dangerous situations is avoidance and silence, repressing emotions with the hope that the problem will disappear if matters are smoothed over.
Malaysians failed to realise that environmental protection is not a matter exclusively to be dealt with by the government, but a matter that requires full social participation to ensure successful results.
