Residual effluents from the industrial sector contribute to water pollution. Although<br />

Malaysia already have specific rules for environmental protection, some industries still<br />

do not comply with regulatory requirements. This paper is to identify the factors that<br />

influence the level of industrial compliance. Econometric models are used to analyze<br />

the level of compliance on environmental regulations in Selangor, Kelantan and<br />

Terengganu. The result shows that the number of inspections affects the industrial<br />

compliance. Besides, the study also proves that industry in developed countries are<br />

higher in compliance. Enforcement agencies are encouraged to increase enforcement<br />

activities to increase the level of industrial compliance.<br />
