SHAH ALAM, 13 Oct – A total of 103 illegal dumping cases were detected through closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras operated by the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) from January to September this year, a decrease from 109 cases recorded during the same period last year. MBDK said the use of CCTV has enabled the council to detect illegal dumping activities more systematically, including identifying vehicles and individuals suspected of being involved. As of 30 September, a total of 909 compounds had been issued through enforcement actions under the Refuse Collection, Removal and Disposal By-Laws 2007, of which 576 had been paid. In September alone, a total of 4,128 CCTV recordings were captured, leading to the identification of eight illegal dumping cases. “Of these cases, two compounds were issued, while the remaining six are still undergoing information-gathering processes in collaboration with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM),” MBDK said in a statement. During the same period, MBDK’s CCTV Unit also received 24 requests for CCTV footage from the PDRM to assist with investigations and further action. MBDK stressed that it would not tolerate any individuals found to be involved in illegal dumping activities. “Strict enforcement action will continue to be taken against any party found committing illegal dumping offences,” the statement said. MBDK will continue to strengthen CCTV monitoring and enforcement measures to curb illegal dumping activities throughout Klang. |
