SHAH ALAM- All states in Malaysia are advised to emulate Selangor in forest management.

Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said the state government is higly organised because it takes into account the public's view.

"The Selangor government, if they want to degazette a forest, they will hold a public hearing.

"We want this to be extended across all states so that the people can express their views or ideas about this matter," he said.

He said this during the fifth edition of Sinar Harian's Town Hall Rakyat show on Monday hosted by Azhar Sulaiman.

Nik Nazmi added that forest management issue lies largely under the state government.
