About Us

In June 2016, following an open tender process, Pakar Scieno TW Sdn Bhd (PSTW) was awarded a 15-year contract to develop, establish and implement the Environmental Quality Monitoring Program (EQMP), which represents a new era in environmental quality monitoring network design and technology in Malaysia.

Towards this end, we have established an organisation built on innovative, state-of-the-art monitoring technologies and ICT, incorporating elements of IOT, coupled with extensive operational experience and supported by a team of air and water scientists and engineers.

What is EQMP?

Environmental monitoring is an essential element in the management of the environment. Quality-assured data from monitoring activities allow for the more sustainable planning of development projects, support the effectiveness of enforcement activities and ultimately, enhance the overall management of the nation’s living environment and natural resources. Environmental data that contributes to establishing the status of the environment also represents a useful tool in assessing the effectiveness and improvement of management strategies.

In Malaysia, the systematic monitoring of the nation’s air quality and water resources, including the marine environment has essentially been the responsibility of the Department of Environment (DoE) under the Ministry of Environment and Water, although several other government agencies also undertake some form of environmental monitoring as it pertains to its respective roles and responsibilities.

Monitoring activities as conducted by the DoE commenced shortly after the establishment of the department in 1975. The nation-wide monitoring program assessing air and river water quality was contracted out to the private sector in 1995.
