SHAH ALAM – A total of 103 illegal dumping cases were detected through closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring by the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) between January and September this year. MBDK Corporate Communications Director Norfiza Mahfiz said the figure represented a decrease compared with the 109 cases recorded during the same period last year. She said CCTV monitoring conducted by the CCTV Unit of MBDK’s Enforcement Department enabled illegal dumping activities to be detected more systematically, including identifying vehicles and individuals suspected of being involved for further action. “In addition to detection through CCTV, MBDK has also carried out enforcement actions through the issuance of compounds and seizures under the Refuse Collection, Removal and Disposal By-Laws 2007. “As of 30 September, a total of 909 compounds had been issued for related offences, of which 576 had been paid, generating RM247,360 in revenue,” she said in a statement today. In a related development, she said MBDK’s CCTV Unit had also assisted other enforcement agencies, receiving 24 requests for CCTV footage from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) as of 30 September to support investigations and further action. “In September alone, a total of 4,128 CCTV recordings related to illegal dumping detection were captured, with eight incidents identified. “Of these, two compounds were issued, while the remaining six cases are still undergoing information-gathering processes in collaboration with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the PDRM,” she said. Elaborating further, Norfiza said MBDK would continue to take strict action against any individuals or parties found to be involved in illegal dumping activities. She 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. |
