Anti-littering campaign hits a snag in Sibu


SIBU: Efforts by the Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) to stop rampant littering through introducing early education has hit a snag as school headmasters and principals were not cooperative.

A dismayed councillor Rhoda Ting said at the council meeting yesterday that school headmasters and principals were more interested in pushing their students to achieve good academic results than on the council’s anti-littering education efforts.
