Malaysia has not transposed its SEA requirements into
national legislation though it has introduced EIA through its
Environmental Quality Act. SEA has also been conducted for
the Paya Indah Wetlands, Selangor Structure Plan, Perak
Structure Plan, Beaufort and Kuala Penyu Landuse Plan and
the National Water Resources Management Study. The
current application of SEA in Malaysia is mainly focused in
land use development plans via the Town and Country
Planning Department
