Activities Report 1999 Sept Newsletter
Strict Enforcement on Illegal Dumping
The Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) welcomes
the move of Menteri Besar YAB Datuk Seri Abu Hassan Omar, in directing
the State Department of Environment (DOE) to act quickly against the alleged
Dipsol Chemicals (M) Sdn Bhd, caught for burying what was reported to be
toxic waste on its premises at the Teluk Panglima Garang Industrial estate,
Kuala Langat.
Swift and strict enforcement of the
Environmental Quality Act 1976, pertaining to scheduled wastes is necessary
to safeguard the public interest, the environment and to serve as a deterrent
to potential violators. The enforcement aspect of legislation needs to
be reinforced continuously through firm action to give effect to Environmental
Protection Laws.
