He said the initiative, spearheaded by Tourism Malaysia Dubai along with Tourism Selangor, aimed to fortify existing ties and explore new avenues for collaboration.

He added that announcements regarding further developments will be made periodically.

Mengambil contoh di Selangor, katanya, kerajaan negeri merekodkan perbelanjaan lebih rendah apabila penganjuran rumah terbuka Aidilfitri buat kali pertamanya diadakan di sembilan daerah di negeri itu pada tahun lalu.

Among the measures taken by the state government were carrying out periodic cleanliness surveys, developing the Sungai Buloh Action Plan and implementing controls for the entry or release of polluting substances with the setting of parameter limits, he said in a statement today.

As a long-term measure, Hee said the state government through LUAS would implement the Zero Discharge Policy whereby premises will recycle their effluent discharge instead of releasing it to the environment and water sources.
