A Review on The Government's Way Forward Policy Towards Environmental Sustainability Construction Projects in Malaysia by 2020
Major flood experience in 2014 has served as a reminder to the Malaysian government to start building the nation’s resilience towards sustaining the impact of unexpected natural disasters. For that, the Construction Industry Transformation Plan (CITP) 2016-2020 has been established and introduced to shift the construction industry “business as usual” to a more robust “moving forward” approach by focusing on transforming the current construction industry in Malaysia into environmentally sustainable construction industry. CITP 2016-2020 also helps in making Malaysian construction industry as a world-recognized competitor with the quality, safety and professionalism; environmental sustainability; productivity; and internationalization as the pri-mary thrusts of this long-term transformation program. Therefore, the aim of this review paper is to identify the types of natural disasters that commonly occurred in Malaysia as well as pro-grams and initiatives developed by Malaysian government in order to promote and support a comprehensive sustainable construction in the Malaysian practice. It starts by explaining the nat-ural disasters in Malaysia, then followed with the discussion about sustainability journey in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan, and lastly, discussion on CITP 2016-2020.
