Manjung Municipal Council (MPM) has denied appointing any individual or association to collect fees at Pantai Teluk Senangin in Lumut, Perak. In a media statement, MPM said 'Pantai Teluk Senangin is a public beach that is open to all for recreation, relaxation and picnics. 'MPM does not charge visitors for leisure activities. 'MPM has not appointed, authorised or issued permits to individuals, associations or organisations to collect fees from beachgoers.'

MPM said it posted a notice on its Facebook page on Aug 15 last year, stating that no charges were imposed for beach activities. Bernama reported that MPM said it had collaborated with the Manjung District Police Headquarters to conduct enforcement at the beach against those renting out ring floats. 'Action was taken against operators renting out chairs, tables, tents and floats without a valid licence or permission from the MPM president,' MPM said. Six seizures were made, involving equipment, including tents set up along Pantai Teluk Senangin. 'All seized items were taken to MPM's temporary storage depot for further action according to applicable laws and procedures. 'The seized items included 220 chairs, 19 wooden tables, one steel table, one umbrella, 25 floats and three tents,' the statement said. MPM said so far, 10 permits had been issued to operators.
