Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today launched the National Landscape Policy which he said provides a holistic path towards a better quality living environment. "The policy is an important initiative towards an effective way to enhance quality of life by providing safe, healthy and clean landscape.
"Landscape is a valuable asset and heritage in the course of daily life. Its preservation and maintenance contribute directly to the environment, socio-economic development and civilisation of a country," he said at the launch here which highlighted National Landscape Day celebrations.
He said that landscape was not just about aesthetics and planting trees but covered a wider scope. From an economic perspective, it can attract tourists and investors, he added. The policy was approved by the cabinet on Dec 22 2010 as an operational guideline for the development and maintenance of landscape as part of the national heritage.
Indeed this policy will pave the way to a more concerted effort to make our cities greener and cleaner. It would be good for the eyes and better experience for the tourists.
