BUSINESSMEN in Selangor will face a RM1,000 fine if they use polystyrene packages come January 2017.
The fine comes following the new policy set by the state government that bans the use of polystyrene and promotes reduced plastic bag usage next year. The ban will take effect on Jan 1.
Selangor State Tourism, Environment, Green Technology and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Elizabeth Wong said the fine was the standard amount for any breach of licence condition.
She said several additional conditions had been added to the by-laws to incorporate the new ruling.
“The maximum fine is RM1,000 and shoppers will be charged a minimum of 20sen for single-use plastic bags. ....READ MORE ......

Dogs, Security, Rubbish, Recycling

Below are some of the current community topics that are being highlighted and discussed within our SS20 forums: whatsapp, facebook and blogs:

1) Dogs - The stray dog population has been reduced from 8 dogs to about 3 now. The topic of concern is our own residents letting out their dogs to defecate at other residents' front and side areas. A few residents will be approaching us to view the CCTV footage to identify and record the dogs/owners. We applaud those dog owners who walk their dogs on a leash and clean up after the dog does its business.

2) Security - Three separate security incidents occurred in the Southern Zone earlier this week: a house break-in, shoes stolen and snatch thief case. We should continue to be vigilant of our home and surrounding areas. The Police has advised that security incidents are expected to increase just before a festive period.

3) Rubbish - MBPJ has on 1st June appointed a new contractor for general cleaning, grass cutting, domestic waste and garden waste. The contractor is in the process of "trying to catch-up" on these areas. We want to encourage residents to help in the effort to keep our environment clean and neat. This will include for example: putting your kitchen waste in a garbage bin, putting your garden cuttings into a bag or tying it up, putting these garden cuttings/other waste in front of your own house and not creating "illegal dumping spots".
Please do not create illegal dumping spots
 


4) Single-Stream Waste Separation - The MBPJ sponsored recycling project on roads 14 and 16 has been going well. Please bring out your yellow bin only on Tuesday morning as close to 10:00 am as possible. There has been one incident where a bin was taken away by a "cyclist waste collector". 
MBPJ is now working on the details to extend the project to the other roads in the Central Zone. 
Please place yellow recycle bin in front of your house every Tuesday morning at 10am
