KUCHING: A poor family staying in Lorong 28, BDC Resettlement Scheme is living in a dangerous situation as one of the bedrooms in the house has almost collaped. Their plights were made known to SUPP Public Complaints Bureau (SPCB) chief, Wilfred Yap who went with Temenggong Tan Joo Poi, Penghulu Thian Sing Hua, Kapitan Chai Yong Liang and other community leaders to inspect and assess the situation to see what could be done to resolve the problem faced by the poor family.
Yap said after inspecting the situation, he would assist the poor family to apply for financial assistance for the repair of the dilapidated house from the relevant authorities and other available financial assistance from the Government.
In another issue, residents of Stampin Resettlement Scheme at Lorong 30 also complained to Yap of irresponsible residents who dumped their waste at a junction. The residents hoped that a signage would be put up to warn the public against doing so as dumping rubbish costs rate payers a lot of money each year in removal charges. Instead of dumping rubbish illegally, anyone who needs to dispose bulk rubbish should contact Trienekens at (082) 612300 for their rates and charges.
At the same time, Yap would like to encourage the public to play their role by assisting councils through reporting or lodging a complaint if they see anyone illegally dumping rubbish by the roadside.
The public can report to councils the offenders who dispose rubbish illegally by giving MBKS information such as the registration number of the offender’s vehicle, location, date, time, description of rubbish and description of offender. A photo of the offender of illegal rubbish dumping taken from a hand phone will be very effective in identifying the culprit.
