MPSJ to clean up neighbourhood of rubbish within a month

THE Subang Jaya Municipal Council will clean up the neighbourhood of rubbish within a month, says council president Dato Asmawi Kasbi.

“We will clear up all the rubbish and bulky waste which has been indiscriminately dumped by road shoulders.”

“The council will also place big bins for residents to dump their bulky waste as a measure to reduce indiscriminate dumping,” he said to SJ Echo after the council’s monthly morning briefing.

Asmawi said the Urban Services and Landscape Department would be teamed up to tackle this problem.

“MPSJ lorries will be mobilised to pick up rubbish by the road shoulders throughout the whole municipality,” he said.

He said MPSJ would place bulky waste bins in strategic locations and hoped that residents would give their cooperation to the council to stem the problem.
On illegal banners and signages, Asmawi admitted that the council was overwhelmed with the problem.

“MPSJ contractors who had been asked to help remove the Ah Long banners in Seri Kembangan were threatened by thugs.”

“Our enforcement officers have been directed to tackle this issue and to increase their efforts to fight this problem,” he said.

Asmawi said the council would contact utility companies like Tenaga Nasional and Telekom Malaysia to explore ways to clean up stickers which had vandalised their property as well.

“I would like to appeal to residents to help us out too. Call us if you spot people putting up illegal banners and placing stickers everywhere,” he said.
