Consider This: Destination Islands (Part 1) — Paradise at Risk

Malaysia’s destination islands are facing a growing challenge that can no longer be ignored— unsustainable waste management. It threatens not only the environment but also the health of local communities and the future of tourism in Malaysia. Will the tourism industry and local authorities step up to save Malaysia’s destination islands from this growing waste crisis, or are we already seeing irreversible damage? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Adjunct Professor Anthony Wong, Managing Director at Frangipani Resort and Spa in Langkawi. He’s also a sustainability expert in wastewater, and a Technical Advisory Member of UNDP’s Council on Sustainable Tourism.
