"This includes engineering design for all infrastructure and risk review for highrise development locations that have an impact on the local community and economy," they said. In the 79th National Council for Local Government meeting on June 23, then Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof raised and approved the application of the Land Collapse Vulnerability Index Guidelines document and risk index for Critical Infrastructure in Malaysia that had been developed by CREAM.
