BUKIT MERTAJAM: 11 foreign nationals were arrested during a raid on a factory alleged to have illegally processed electrical and electronic waste in Machang Bubok.
SAC Shahrum said the raid followed two weeks of surveillance using drone technology at the premises, located within an oil palm plantation and near a main road. The e-waste was reportedly imported from several countries and processed at the factory before being sent to other parties for further processing.
The factory was dismantling, crushing, and separating e-waste using specialized machines before packing the processed materials into jumbo bags for transport to another location for further processing. The factory was found to be in violation of the Environmental Quality Act as well as the Local Government Act 1976 under the By-laws on Licensing of Premises, Trade, Business, and Industry.
