State Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation director Khairuladha Ab Mutalib said investigation papers for the case were being prepared and would be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor for further action.
"Two days ago, we managed to stop a construction company from dumping construction waste such as wood and brick fragments at the Tenaga Nasional Berhad reserve area near Sungai Putat. Khairuladha said collection of industrial wastes for disposal could only be carried out by licenced contractors appointed by SWCorp and the wastes would be dumped directly to existing landfills.
In another development, he said illegal waste dumping areas in Melaka had been reduced to 37 locations as of yesterday compared to the 57 locations earlier this year.
