SHAH ALAM, March 22 — Residents are advised to farm in suitable areas to avoid disturbing their neighbourhood and creating breeding grounds for Aedes mosquitoes.
Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) in a statement said it was following frequent complaints received that residents placed pots and plants in inappropriate areas.
“However, MBSJ has no objection for the community to plant trees or other crops in their house area without causing any disturbances.
“We (also) implemented a seed exchange programme to encourage tree planting, residents are also encouraged to participate in the community garden programme,” said the local council.
MBSJ said every year it targets to plant about 80,000 new trees.
“We are also developing urban forests in USJ 3 which contain various species of forest plants, herbs and ornamental trees that can increase biodiversity in the city area,” it said.
