Manjung Municipal Council denies beach fee claims at Pantai Teluk Senangin
Photo taken from Facebook IPOH: The Manjung Municipal Council refutes claims that it is collecting fees from visitors at Pantai Teluk Senangin as it goes against the council's policy on the management of public beaches. The statement was made in response to allegations that individuals have been charging the public to access the beach. 'The council takes this matter seriously as it concerns the public's right to access recreational areas freely, without additional charges, " it added. According to the council, it had issued a statement on Aug 15 2024, through its official social media channels, stating that no fees were charged for picnic-related activities at Pantai Teluk Senangin. The same notice was also displayed on-site. "Despite this, irresponsible individuals have continued to take advantage of visitors, tarnishing the image of Manjung's local tourism sector. These actions are unlawful," it said. In collaboration with the Manjung District Police Headquarters, the council said it recently conducted an enforcement operation at Pantai Teluk Senangin following complaints of unauthorised float rentals. To date, 10 permits have been issued to operators who comply with set conditions, but only three remain active. The operation was conducted under Section 46(1)(d) of the Street, Drainage, and Building Act 1974 (Act 133), which prohibits obstruction in public spaces. "Licensed operators must adhere to strict conditions, including not placing equipment in advance of rentals and not charging for other items or using public spaces for unapproved activities. "The council is calling on the public to lodge a report if they encounter any suspicious activity or individuals attempting to collect payments at Pantai Teluk Senangin or any other beaches within the council's jurisdiction," it said.
