SHAH ALAM, Feb 19 — A total of 207 compounds amounting RM414,000 have been issued to 36 industrial premises for violating regulations under the Environmental Quality Act 1974, the Selangor Department of Environment (DOE) said in a statement today.
It said this was the result of a three-day operation dubbed Ops Gempur where checks were conducted on 54 premises located in the North Klang industrial area from last Tuesday.
In addition, the Equipment Operation Detention (POK) action was imposed on two factories that were seriously polluting the environment.
“The plants’ operation were suspended temporarily to enable immediate control and remedial measures to be taken to stop the pollution,” the statement read.
Selangor DOE views environmental pollution seriously and the public is urged to call the toll-free line 1-800-88-2727 or email to [email protected] or visit its portal at https://[email protected] to report any pollution-related complaints.
