The City Council's recent ban on camping at Port Dickson beaches has sparked controversy, with many visitors expressing their discontent. The Negeri Sembilan Local Government Development, Housing and Transport Exco, J Arul Kumar, defended the decision citing previous issues with tent overcrowding and cleanliness. He emphasized the availability of public washroom facilities for changing clothes and stated that the Council takes responsibility for maintaining the beaches' cleanliness.
The no-camping rule at Port Dickson beaches set by the City Council has upset many potential visitors, and the state exco has since responded to the backlash.
Previously, a Malaysian family who sat on a picnic mat was rudely confronted by rental tent operators who did not allow them to place their picnic mat there. Arul also explained other problems that visitors might face in the future if tents are allowed at the beaches in the district – cleanliness issues.
Arul said that despite being a public place, it is MPPD’s responsibility to look after the beaches. However, if visitors insist on setting up tents, Arul suggested they go to places that offer that leniency, reported Sinar Harian.
