Testimonials from Our Clients
Ahmad Ridzuan bin Yusoff
Project Director · Shah Alam, Selangor
"We engaged Perwira Law when we were unsure whether our township development project triggered the prescribed activities order. Their review saved us from an incorrectly scoped EIA submission — a mistake that would have cost considerably more to correct later. The advice was precise and came quickly."

Lim Wei Sheng
Operations Manager · Johor Bahru
"After receiving a compounding notice from the DOE, we were unsure how to respond. Perwira Law reviewed our situation calmly, explained the options clearly, and handled the DOE engagement on our behalf. The matter was resolved without further proceedings. I appreciated that they were direct about what was and was not achievable."

Nor Izwani Mohd Ghazali
HSE Manager · Petaling Jaya
"Our manufacturing site had accumulated a number of scheduled waste compliance gaps over the years. The audit Perwira Law conducted was thorough, and the remediation plan they produced gave us a realistic path to full compliance. The DOE accepted the plan without significant pushback, which is the outcome we needed."

Suresh Kumar Rajan
Director · Klang, Selangor
"What I value most about Perwira Law is that they tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. When we faced a stop-work order, the solicitor who handled our matter was frank about the timeline for resolution and what the DOE's position was likely to be. That honesty allowed us to plan properly."

Faridah Hanim Zainudin
EIA Consultant · Kuala Lumpur
"As an environmental consultant, I refer clients to Perwira Law when their EIA processes generate legal questions that fall outside my scope. The legal team understands the technical side of environmental work, which makes collaboration genuinely productive — they do not need lengthy explanations of what the DOE's submission process involves."

Tan Kah Ming
Managing Director · Penang
"We needed a compliance audit covering three production lines across different environmental quality regulations. Perwira Law structured the review clearly and identified which areas needed attention first. The fee was transparent from the start and the engagement was completed within the agreed timeline."

How We Have Helped Malaysian Businesses
Industrial Development EIA Conditional Approval — Selangor
Challenge
A manufacturing client received a conditional EIA approval containing fourteen conditions, several of which were technically difficult to comply with on the proposed project timeline. One condition required modification to site infrastructure not envisaged in the original project plan, at significant cost.
Our Approach
We reviewed each condition against the EIA report submitted and the DOE's stated concerns during public display. We identified that three conditions were inconsistent with representations made by the DOE during the review period, and prepared a formal written response requesting reconsideration supported by technical documentation.
Outcome
The DOE agreed to revise two of the three contested conditions, removing the infrastructure modification requirement and extending the compliance timeline on a third. The client was able to proceed with the project as designed within an acceptable regulatory framework.
Duration: 6 weeks · Resolved without appeal proceedings
Scheduled Waste Compounding Notice — Klang Valley
Challenge
An industrial operator received a compounding notice for scheduled waste disposal irregularities identified during a DOE inspection. The company's waste records were incomplete, making it difficult to demonstrate that disposal had been carried out through licensed contractors throughout the relevant period.
Our Approach
We conducted an urgent review of available records and worked with the client to reconstruct disposal history from contractor invoices, waybills, and internal production records. A written response to the DOE was prepared acknowledging the record-keeping shortfall while demonstrating that licensed disposal had in fact occurred. We also submitted a remediation plan addressing the record management issue.
Outcome
The DOE accepted the compounding notice response and did not pursue prosecution. The compounding sum was reduced by approximately 30% in recognition of the remediation commitments made. The client implemented an improved waste tracking system as part of the agreed remediation plan.
Duration: 3 weeks · Compounding sum reduced · No prosecution
Multi-Regulation Compliance Audit — Food Processing Facility, Perak
Challenge
A food processing company expanding its operations required a legal compliance review across effluent discharge, scheduled waste generation, and noise regulations before increasing production capacity. The company had operated under a previous licence structure that did not anticipate the planned scale of expansion.
Our Approach
We mapped applicable Environmental Quality Act regulations to the proposed expanded operations, reviewed the existing licence conditions, and identified three areas where the expanded capacity would exceed licensed parameters. A compliance roadmap was prepared covering licence amendment applications, effluent treatment capacity requirements, and scheduled waste contractor arrangements.
Outcome
The client was able to plan the production expansion with clear knowledge of the licence amendments required and the timeline for obtaining them. Licence applications were submitted pre-expansion, ensuring continuous legal operation through the capacity increase. No enforcement action occurred.
Duration: 4 weeks · Proactive compliance · Uninterrupted operations
