KLANG – A total of 103 illegal dumping cases were detected through the closed-circuit television (CCTV) system operated by the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) between January and September this year. In a statement today, MBDK said the figure represented a slight decrease compared with the 109 cases recorded during the same period last year. According to the council, the use of CCTV technology has enabled more systematic monitoring while helping to identify vehicles and individuals suspected of being involved in illegal dumping activities for further action by the Enforcement Department. “As of 30 September 2026, a total of 909 compounds had been issued under the Refuse Collection, Removal and Disposal By-Laws 2007. “Of these, 576 compounds have been paid, generating a total revenue collection of RM247,360,” the statement said. Apart from detecting illegal dumping offences, MBDK’s CCTV Unit also assists other enforcement agencies by sharing CCTV footage for investigation purposes. As of 30 September, a total of 24 requests for CCTV footage had been received from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to assist with investigations and further action. In September alone, a total of 4,128 CCTV recordings related to illegal dumping detection were recorded, with eight illegal dumping incidents identified. Of these, two compounds were issued, while the remaining six cases are still undergoing further information-gathering processes in collaboration with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the PDRM. MBDK emphasised that strict action would continue to be taken against any individuals or parties found to be involved in illegal dumping activities. The council added that the use of CCTV technology would continue to be strengthened as a monitoring and enforcement mechanism to ensure that Klang remains a clean, safe and comfortable place to live. – MalaysiaGazette |
