ILLEGAL DUMP POSES ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
RUBBISH dumped illegally along Jalan Kempadang, Kuantan has become an eyesore, and an environmental hazard.
Motorist Zuhairi Abdullah said it seemed as though people dumped rubbish indiscriminately at the vacant spot almost every day.
He said the area was filled with black plastic bags containing domestic waste, discarded wood and other trash.
“I believe the culprits are those living in several residential areas within the vicinity who expect the authorities to remove the rubbish for them.
“I am afraid the illegal dump will become a breeding ground for the Aedes mosquito, leading to a dengue outbreak in the area.
“The Kuantan Municipal Council should send undercover officers to catch the litterbugs,”
he said.
