Selangor is pioneering a Malaysia-Japan cooperation through the Malaysia-Japan SeDAR program in preparation for natural disasters. Four communities from the two high potential districts will be selected – SeDAR Malaysia-Japan, Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam

Audio from the Video Interviewing Yang Berhormat Hee Loy Sian, Selangor Executive Committee member and Chairman of the Standing Committee for Environment, Green Technology and Public Affairs:

“Four communities from several districts in Selangor that are exposed to disaster risks were chosen to pioneer the program. The leaders of these communities have the chances to interact and share experiences with Japanese partners regarding Disaster Risks Reductions programs done in Japan.”

“While Japan is well equipped with advance technology against disasters risks, their citizens are also well equipped with disaster knowledge and awareness since the young age to face disasters like earthquackes and tsunamis.”

“Selangor will be the state to pioneer this SeDAR program. This program today is important to teach our local communities so that they understand the best preparations to be made based on science.”
