> Loudspeaker warning plan for motorists who throw rubbish from cars
The Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Corporation (SWCorp) has come up with a plan to crack down on people who throw rubbish from their cars in Seremban. When someone dumps rubbish out of their car windows or doors, a loudspeaker will release a warning saying, “You have littered from your vehicle.” SWCorp chief executive officer Datuk Ab Rahim Md Noor said it is hoped that move will be effective.
