He said that Malaysia is to harness the potential and economic value of the landscape industry, protect its landscape assets, and improve the quality of national landscaping services.
With these proposed directions, Ismail Sabri expressed his hope that the country’s landscape development in the next 25 years will be more advanced and offer superior landscape quality for future generations.
He said that about 9,467 hectares nationwide had been developed into parks in the past 25 years and with the cooperation of all parties, it led to the development of quality landscapes.
Data showed that the number of visitors to the Bukit Kiara Federal Park recorded an increase of 287.1 percent in 2021 compared to the previous year. This proves the importance of the park as the main recreational space for Malaysian people during the COVID-19 pandemic./.
