465 encroachment cases on federal lands since in last ten years
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 465 encroachment cases have taken place on lands owned by the Federal Government from 2015 till May 2025, the Dewan Rakyat was told. Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani ( pic ), who is tasked with temporarily overseeing the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry, said these figures involved encroachment on Federal Government-owned land, which is a total of 215,406 hectares nationwide. 'For the case in Penang, 26 complaints involved encroachment on federal-owned land, which is 18 lots of land,' said Johari in Parliament on Monday (July 28). Johari said the Lands and Mines Department (JKPTG) director-general would coordinate joint programs with other enforcement agencies to address the issue of encroachment. According to Johari, notices under Section 425 of the National Land Code (Act 828) would be issued to encroachers. Johari also said to ensure that federal lands are not repeatedly encroached, the government will come up with a method that will involve ministries or the consumer department. 'Every federal-owned land has development plans based on the Malaysian Plan,' he said. 'But, developing the land is based on the priority and allocation given by the government,' added Johari.

[UPDATED] Nga clarifies 20-tonne rubbish figure from rally
KUALA LUMPUR: The issue of 20 tonnes of rubbish left behind by participants of the opposition rally in the capital last Saturday sparked an uproar in the Dewan Rakyat when Pendang MP Datuk Awang Hashim questioned the figure reported by the Housing and Local Government Ministry. Awang accused Minister Nga Kor Ming of lying and cast doubt on the reported 20 tonnes of waste allegedly collected by SWCorp after the rally, arguing that the figure did not match the estimated 18,000 participants, as confirmed by the police. Responding to Awang's question, Nga clarified that the figure did not originate from him personally but was based on a report from SWCorp. "As a government that respects the constitution and upholds democratic principles, we welcome peaceful assemblies but they must be carried out in a peaceful and orderly manner, including maintaining cleanliness," he said during the Minister's Question Time today. "What I criticised was the unhygienic behaviour. As the saying goes, 'if you eat chillies, you'll feel the heat.' I never accused the opposition members of parliament themselves of littering. "The claim that 20 tonnes of rubbish were left behind was based on a report I received from SWCorp on the ground. Hundreds of workers were mobilised to clean up after the Black Shirt rally. I do not deny that a group from Unit Amal helped with the clean-up, and I thank them for that. But it also cannot be denied that 20 tonnes of rubbish were scattered across Sogo, Dataran Merdeka, and Jalan Petaling," he added. Tensions rose in the House as shouting erupted, prompting Deputy Speaker Alice Lau to mute the microphones and instruct Awang to take his seat. "You're lying. A minister can't lie," Awang was heard saying. Lau moved to conclude the session, but Nga and Awang continued exchanging remarks. Awang then stood up again and shouted, "The minister lied about the 20 tonnes. DAP!" Nga responded by demanding that Awang retract his statement. Lau warned, "If Pendang stands up one more time, please leave the hall."
