: A railway service contractor company operating in the Marang district was fined RM10,000 by the Sessions Court here today for failing to comply with a notice issued by the Terengganu Department of Environment last year.
According to the charge, the company failed to take any action to reduce pollution by ensuring that the wheels of machinery and vehicles leaving the project site were cleaned before entering public roads. Terengganu DOE prosecuting officer Yusnalis Yusoff said the failure to control air pollution from the wheels of machinery and vehicles leaving the project site showed the company’s lack of concern for the notice issued by the DOE on Aug 23, 2023.
Judge Mohd Zul Zakiqudin said that environmental pollution is a serious offence, and the company should have prioritised the public interest over its own business interests.
