SHAH ALAM (Bernama): Kuala Langat residents who have been struggling with pollution issues caused by errant factory operators are not taking it lying down.
Up to Dec 18 this year, the Selangor Department of Environment (DOE) has received a total of 114 complaints from them. Last year, it received 196 complaints and 206 in 2018.
The culprits behind Kuala Langat’s environmental woes are illegal factories that have been sprouting up in the district over the past five years.
These plants are built mainly on agricultural land that has yet to be converted to industrial status.
Selangor reportedly has about 5,600 unlicensed factories and currently, only 1,200 have applied to legalise their operations under a programme initiated by the state government in October last year to license factories and regulate their operations. The deadline under the programme is Dec 31 this year.

SHAH ALAM: Nestle Manufacturing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Nestle Manufacturing) was fined RM90,000 by the Sessions Court here today on two counts of releasing industrial effluent in excess of the acceptable limit.

When meting out the fine, Rofiah said she took into account that environmental pollution is a serious case and it involves public interest.
On the first count, the company was charged under Regulation 11 (1) (b) of the Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009 with releasing five types of industrial effluent containing Biochemical Oxygen Demand Requirement (BOD5) exceeding the standard limit into inland waters.
