IPOH, April 6 — The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) has instructed the local authorities (PBT) to immediately issue compounds to individuals who throw thrash out of their vehicles.
Its minister Nga Kor Ming said the move was taken after several photos went viral showing piles of rubbish scattered on the side of the road which caused local authorities’ workers to do cleaning work.
“PBT will issue a compound and make sure the individuals pay. Strict action will be taken and those who litter will be held responsible.
“We all attended school. We all have Civics education, so it is the responsibility of all parties to look after cleanliness in the public areas. We don’t just hand the job to PBT workers.
“We also know the weather is scorching hot right now, please have mercy for our workers who are working hard to clean those areas,” he said after attending the Meriah Beraya at a shopping centre today.
