Malaysia’s illegal e-waste trade has been making headlines in recent weeks, from major enforcement raids and large seizures at ports to corruption investigations involving senior officials.
Authorities say the scale of the problem runs into billions of ringgit, raising serious concerns about pollution, public health and enforcement gaps.
BFM takes a closer look at what’s been happening with Wong Pui Yi, a researcher with the Basel Action Network, and Mageswari Sangaralingam, the honorary secretary of both Sahabat Alam Malaysia and the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) to explore these developments, what they have revealed about the scale of the problem, and the risks faced by communities and the environment.
