KDEBWM fined RM35,000 for bad service delivery in Kajang
KAJANG Municipal Council (MPKj) has served KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) with fines of RM35,000 for poor service delivery. This was based on a multitude of factors, including damaged roll-on, roll-off bins and malfunctioning lorry compactors, said MPKj president Nazli Md Taib at its full board meeting yesterday. He did not discount that bad road conditions near Tanjung Dua Belas Sanitary Landfill were a contributing factor. 'However, malfunctioning compactor trucks will cease to be an issue after Aug 1 as we have entered into a new interim agreement with KDEB where their contractors will have to acquire new compactors,' said Nazli. 'We have also called for a meeting with KDEB to address these issues and they will come back to us with a plan of action. 'We have 360,000 assessment taxpayers. This means our waste management bill is also high. 'We pay KDEBWM up to RM12mil a year to manage our rubbish,' Nazli said. 'In addition, we also have many traditional villages like those in Dusun Tua that are under our purview, where rubbish collection is done on a corporate social responsibility basis (by KDEBWM). 'We will also be calling on chalet operators, glamping and camping sites as well as homestays to tell them that they will have to pay for rubbish management soon,' he added. In his speech, MPKj councillor Ong Seng Peng pointed out that the cleaning of rubbish, mud and leaves from drains was another area that needed to be looked into, especially covered drains. 'We hope that in future, the waste management contractors will take this into account and budget for the availability of equipment to clear rubbish in closed drain systems. 'In addition, the budget for rubbish management should also include the installation of closed circuit TV cameras at hotspots to deter illegal dumping,' said Ong. In anticipation of National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, Nazli later presented sets of Malaysian flags to MPKj councillors. — By GRACE CHEN

Return to sender: Court throws out bank's RM3.5mil claim on loan guarantors over wrong addresses
KOTA KINABALU: A bank's bid to recover RM3.5mil from two guarantors of a loan facility was dismissed by the High Court of Labuan after it was found that the notices of demand were not served to the correct addresses. Justice Alexander Siew, sitting in Kota Kinabalu on Friday (July 11), dismissed the claim by the bank against two personal guarantors of a bai bithaman ajil (BBA) Islamic facility worth RM2.8mil granted to a company to finance the purchase of land in Kampung Ganggarak, Labuan. The bank sued both the company and its guarantors on Nov 9, 2018, seeking full repayment, interest and costs after claiming the company allegedly defaulted in repayment. Justice Siew, in his judgment, found that the bank's notices of demand had been addressed to the wrong addresses and, as such, the bank failed to make a demand on the defendants for repayment. "As the guarantees were on-demand in nature, the failure to serve valid demand notices was fatal to the bank's case," he said in dismissing the claim against the guarantors, awarding RM10,000 in costs to each. The guarantors' counsel Datuk Seri K. Rakhbir Singh had submitted to the court that the bank's notices of demand were fundamentally defective. 'The plaintiff (bank) keeps repeating that it had issued the notices. However, this is not the point of contention. The point of contention is that the notices were all sent to the wrong addresses," he argued. The court, however, allowed the bank's claim against the company with costs on separate grounds, in line with the position that the writ itself could constitute sufficient demand against a principal borrower. Rakbhir later said the ruling reaffirms that strict compliance with procedural requirements is not a mere technicality, but a fundamental element in the enforcement of guarantees. "The case stands as a timely reminder to lenders that shortcuts in service and notice can prove costly, even in claims worth millions," he added.
