Piles of rubbish mar Seri Kembangan's image
Rubbish dumped by the side of Jalan Aman in Seri Kembangan. A long-term solution is needed to the persistent dumping of rubbish illegally in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) Zone 22 councillor Tey Boon Kiat said several locations had become hotspots. 'These include Jalan SK 9, Jalan SK 2/3, Jalan Jinma 4, Jalan SK 7/3, Jalan 14/2B, Jalan SK 8/1, Jalan SK 3/5, Jalan SK 5/4, Jalan Pasar and Jalan Kuyuh. 'These piles of rubbish not only pollute the environment and become breeding grounds for pests, they also tarnish the image of the entire community. 'This has become a vicious cycle because if the rubbish is not cleared, it will pile up and the sites will continue to be dumping grounds,' he said. To address the issue, Tey suggested the city council consider installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in the affected areas. 'However, there are concerns that the CCTV's blindspots could become new dumping sites,' he said, adding that those caught dumping rubbish would be issued a RM1,000 compound. Tey was speaking during a press conference after a clean-up operation with KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd at Jalan Aman in Kampung Baru Seri Kembangan. Seri Kembangan new village chief Eric Hong said the issue had persisted for years without a long-term solution. 'We have advised people repeatedly not to throw their rubbish everywhere, but nothing has changed. 'Each time KDEB clears the area, new piles of rubbish are there in just a few days or even overnight,' said Hong.
