“…These elements can trigger the probability of the landslide to happen especially during the rainfall Table 3. Recorded landslide risk area focused in Selangor and Kuala LumpurTeritory between 2008 and 2018 (29,32,33) Along with the details, the recent report by ExpactGo (34) confirms that a total of 1,740 slopes in Kuala Lumpur are vulnerable to landslides. Among the 1,740 hill slopes, at least 620 were classified as very high risk while the rest were high risk.…”

Background: To review historical landslide events in Malaysia. The increasing number of landslide in Malaysia is closely linked to the development of new infrastructures of the economic and social progress. Methods: The research was a review study utilizing secondary data as the primary source from National Slope Master Plan 2009-2023 and some additional study by the researchers. This study thoroughly examined landslide in Malaysia and found many landslide occurred in the area of Selangor due to increased development. There are several historical landslide events in Malaysia that have been extensively reviewed from the year 1993 to the year 2019. Findings: This disaster has resulted in substantial numbers of casualties, destruction of properties losses and direct and indirect economic implications. The summary of this study found that the number of landslides and injuries were reported to increase between 1993 and 2019. Some major landslide also occurred along the main highway without fatalities but serious traffic congestion occurred. Novelty of the study: This paper focus on clarify the historical events that had an impact on the physical and socioeconomic conditions in Malaysia. In summary, this study has highlighted the summary of major landslide events in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, and generally, this tragedy occurred causes of slope instability and human error. Recommendations: It is suggested to further restrict any development on a high land area to limit environmental impact. In addition, awareness and knowledge about on the dangers of landslides should be communicated to the public during the planning and management process. Susceptibility analyses may also provide important input during overall design, analisis and planning of development in hilly terrain.

“…Malaysia contributed 0.52% of carbon emissions globally and has become the fourth-largest emitter of GHG emissions in ASEAN (Rahman, 2018). This has had a direct impact on the environment where the extreme environmental events and disasters occurred in Malaysia, such as fire (Baharin, 2019), heat waves (Astro Awani, 2015), severe flood (Tahir, 2015) and landslides (Akter et al, 2019). Many people get affected by these environmental issues, which has indirectly increased the number of deaths due to unhealthy air pollution, respiratory diseases, fire accidents, and many more (Department of Statistics Malaysia, 2019).…”

Malaysia has a long history of environmental issues. The Malaysian government has implemented deterrent and supportive strategies to reduce the issue by penalising polluters and providing tax incentives to encourage green technology developments. However, these strategies are ineffective since the number of pollution issues keeps increasing, and the Malaysia Environmental Performance Index (EPI) 2020 score has dropped. Many countries have implemented carbon tax to mitigate some environmental issues following the recommendation by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The carbon tax has proven to be an effective strategy not only to reduce environmental problems but also to increase government revenues. This conceptual paper aims to give a brief review of literature for future studies in implementing a carbon tax policy in Malaysia. It is hoped that the findings will assist the Malaysian government in implementing a carbon tax policy to reduce environmental issues and as a strategy to widen its tax base Keywords: environmental issues, carbon tax, Malaysia, pollutions, income tax base

The purpose of this project is to develop a prototype Internet of Things based landslide monitoring system that has the advantage of providing facilities like monitoring landslides from home or anywhere using a smartphone. This project has two main parts to ensure this prototype is complete, namely software and hardware. For the hardware part, this prototype project uses soil moisture sensor, vibration sensor and ultrasonic sensor, in which all hardware are connected to the central processing unit known as Node MCU ESP32. Using the Node MCU ESP32, it provides Wi-Fi module to develop the end-point of IoT (Internet of Things) applications. The soil moisture sensor measures the soil moisture levels by capacitive sensing, vibration sensor used to sense any movement in the ground and ultrasonic sensor used to detect distance of landslide moving down. In addition, Node MCU ESP32 represents the component for the connection between project devices and smartphones with wireless Wi-Fi technology. The software of this prototype is Arduino IDE for creating commands for Node MCU ESP32. The Blynk application is for the user interface, available on smartphones users outside the home or work area receive real-time information from the smartphones.
