PARLIAMENT | Only new pig farms with at least 2,000 pigs are subject to mandatory environmental impact assessments (EIAs), the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Deputy Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh said the former pig farms in Tanjung Sepat, Selangor, were therefore exempt from the requirement as they had been operating before the EIA Order 2015 took effect.
