Antarctica is no longer a pristine environment due to extensive and progressive human activities which defeats Antarctica ability to cool down the heat of those activities taking place outside Antarctica. Malaysia, now a party to the Antarctic Treaty, has the intention to ratify the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (Madrid Protocol) 1991. The Protocol provides for comprehensive protection of the Antarctic environment and imposes the members to incorporate the obligations in their local legislation in order to maximizing quality of global environment. Thus, the Antarctica Act [M] 2013 is being formulated to mitigate the human impact on global environment.
