: A total of 26 pig farms in Kampung Selamat, Tasek Gelugor here were found to have dumped sewage and animal faeces directly into the river in the area, the Penang state assembly was told yesterday.
“Through the enactment, the action to demolish pig farms that do not follow the conditions - including dumping waste into the river - can be taken by the Local Authority ,“ she said when wrapping up her debate on the Supply Bill and the motion on the 2021 Development Estimates during the state assembly sitting at Dewan Sri Pinang yesterday.
“Among them is the cooperation with the Department of Irrigation and Drainage to set traps in the drains so that pig farm sewage waste does not directly enter the river. In addition, we are also working with Indah Water Konsortium and Tenaga Nasional Berhad to dispose of the pig waste, including converting it for use in the biogas industry,” she said.
