OUR new Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, ought to be congratulated for establishing a separate ministry to handle environmental affairs. Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, the newly- minted Environment Minister, will not only have to learn a lot speedily but hit the ground running if he wants to make an impact. At the same time, he needs all the support that he can harness, especially from the Prime Minister.
But given the state of affairs at this point of time, I will not be surprised if environmental issues such as climate change are not pressing concerns and will take a back seat to the Covid-19 outbreak.
