摘要：AbstractMalaysia lacks an effective legal mechanism on integration of policies and mechanisms in flood management. Its National Security Council Directive No.20 provides comprehensive guidelines, but then has to rely on various legislations not specifically enacted for managing floods. This paper will examine the English Flood and Water Management Act 2010 Act for lessons to be learnt. A doctrinal legal approach is adopted in this study in which data will be analysed. The expected outcome would be to examine the legal approach in flood risk management in England and Wales, which would be a benchmark for the potential Malaysian legal counterpart.
