Green Wishlists for Malaysia’s Budget 2026

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are challenges that don’t wait for budget cycles. That’s why many are calling for stronger government commitments in Budget 2026. What's on the environmental wish list, and why does it matter for all of us? We hear from two activists working in the environment and conservation field - Khor Sue Yee, Co-founder and Director of Zero Waste Malaysia, and Andrew Sebastian, the CEO of the Ecotourism and Conservation Society of Malaysia (ECOMY) - about their wish list for Budget 2026.
