You're right, but I think overall your country is a lot cleaner from what I've experienced, but there is plenty of room for improvement. There is so much ecotourism potential in Southeast Asia, a lot more in Malaysia/Borneo than here, but all in all, if some small efforts are made to preserve the natural spaces, there will be sustainable income potential for many generations to come.
I can't speak for the other states, but Sabah/Sarawak (Borneo) has a lot of potentials.

The plantations provide a lucrative cash crop for the people, especially the rural folks, but at the same time, at the expense of the land.
