JEDDAH: Johor Darul Ta'zim's (JDT) hopes of becoming the first Malaysian club to reach the AFC Champions League (ACL) Elite semi-finals were dashed after a narrow 1-2 defeat to defending champions Al-Ahli on Friday (April 17).
FACTORY operators at the Boston Industrial Park in Batu Caves have been warned not to dump their waste by the roadside, as authorities intensify monitoring and enforcement to curb illegal disposal. In a statement, the Selayang Municipal Council said those found guilty were liable to a RM1,000 compound under its Collection, Discharge and Disposal of Rubbish 2007 Bylaw.
“This area has been identified as an illegal dumping hotspot by commercial operators and irresponsible individuals.The statement was issued after the local council and KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd recently cleaned up piles of industrial and construction waste dumped by a roadside in the industrial area. Photos shared showed an excavator removing waste that had accumulated on the road, which MPS said was discarded by nearby operators.MPS and KDEB also cleared another pile of industrial and construction waste in a separate operation in Taman Daya, Kepong, following public complaints about illegal dumping.“The public is reminded to only dispose rubbish in areas designated by the authorities,” MPS said in a statement.At the MPS’ full board meeting in March, some councillors expressed concern that illegal dumping was becoming more common, especially in commercial areas. In response, MPS president Shahman Jalaludin said a three-day workshop would be held involving the local council’s personnel, councillors and relevant agencies to discuss solutions. “The workshop is to explore the perspectives and issues from all parties, including the council, operators and communities. “We need to identify short-, medium- and long-term solutions. If we have to spend money to implement them, we will do so,” he was quoted as saying in a StarMetro report on March 19. He further noted that several major festive periods taking place in close succession, might have led to a surge in the volume of waste. —
