PETALING JAYA: The lack of enforcement of the smoking ban in public places, especially at eateries, in some areas has led to customers lighting up at these premises.
PETALING JAYA: Harsher penalties alone under new amendments to the Environmental Quality Act will not spare the country’s water sources from pollution if there is a lack of manpower to enforce the provisions, said stakeholders and trade groups.
