Reward for info on illegal dumping

THE Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) will reward informers of illegal dumping.

At the fullboard meeting yesterday, MPSJ president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan said RM500 would be given to the public who tip off the council on those who dispose of rubbish illegally.



“Take note of the date and time, take a photo of the culprits and their lorries and then forward us the details,” he said.

The council will work with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to track down the culprits based on the information given.

It will give the reward after the culprits settled the fines.

Similarly, MPSJ will reward informants on heavy vehicles that knock down height gantries installed at various locations in the municipality.

Citing an incident that happened on Sunday night, Adnan said a heavy vehicle caused a gantry at USJ 16 to fall and later, a motorcyclist rammed into the gantry left lying on the road.

“It takes about RM6,000 to RM12,000 to make and install a gantry.

“If the culprit is caught, he will be slapped with a maximum fine of RM1,000 for vandalism. He also has to bear the repair costs,” Adnan said.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that the MPSJ Hypermedia Libraries located at Kompleks 3C and Serdang Raya are now open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9.30am to 5pm (except public holidays)
