PUTRAJAYA: Amendments to the Environmental Quality Act that mete out harsher penalties of up to RM10mil in fines coupled with mandatory jail time for polluters have been in effect since July 7, says the Department of Environment .
"The mandatory jail time is for offences of illegal disposal of scheduled waste, water pollution and not adhering to conditions stated under the Environmental Impact Assessment reports," he said. Wan Abdul Latiff also denied claims by certain quarters that the department was deliberately delaying the approval of EIA reports and being a hindrance to development, adding that it has to adhere to the timeframe stipulated in the department’s client charter and quality management system.
