DBKK to act on illegal parking in housing areas
Published on: Wednesday, June 04, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 04, 2025 Text Size: An enforcement officer issues a fine for illegal parking. - Pic via Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu | Facebook The City Hall (DBKK) will take enforcement action against vehicles parked on roads and public spaces in housing areas following frequent complaints of traffic congestion. The DBKK Enforcement Department said offenders risk being fined up to RM500 under the Streets and Public Places By-Laws 1966. Residents are reminded to park within their compounds instead of on roadsides, which obstruct traffic flow and hinder emergency response. This initiative also aims to maintain the city's image as clean, orderly, and safe. DBKK said it will continue educating the public through various platforms, including social media, and urged residents to call 088-521800 for further enquiries or complaints. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

New bylaw on plastic bag usage, disposal being drafted
Published on: Friday, May 09, 2025 Published on: Fri, May 09, 2025 Text Size: The goal is to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable habits through the 3R approach (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). - Pic for illustration only. Kota Kinabalu: Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) has rolled out the 'Hari-Hari Bawa Beg Bah' campaign, urging residents to ditch single-use plastic bags in favour of reusable alternatives. Launched on Aug 1, 2024, the initiative targets supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, clothing shops and local markets under DBKK's jurisdiction. The goal is to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable habits through the 3R approach (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). While the campaign is currently voluntary, DBKK is drafting a new bylaw to formally regulate plastic bag usage and disposal, ensuring long-term compliance. Until the law takes effect, no fines will be imposed on shoppers or businesses. An exception has been made for wet market vendors selling raw meat, seafood and other perishables. DBKK calls on all residents to embrace the shift toward a greener city.
