The Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Ministry intends to cease the payment of Ecological Fiscal Transfer for Biodiversity Conservation to Kelantan if the state continues with its plan to make changes to its development plan involving environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs), said minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
The government has allocated RM200 million under its Ecological Fiscal Transfer programme under Budget 2024, said Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (Setiawangsa-PH).
