Under the Malaysia SDG Cities Project, there are three steps involved in preparing the Voluntary Local Review (VLR) for Kemaman city. The first step focuses on writing the SDG Assessment Report, which serves as the initial interim report for the VLR. This report is based on the "My Local Statistic of Kemaman 2021," published by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), the Local Plan Kemaman 2035, and insights gathered from Focus Group Discussions (FGD).
