IT WAS not all rosy in Selayang this year as Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) had to tackle a host of issues concerning the public, from illegal waste dumping and catching stray animals to clamping down on unlicensed car wash operators.

Council enforcement officers were kept busy dealing with illegal waste dumping but the complaints from residents and business owners escalated when they witnessed lorries drive into empty lands to dispose of waste at odd hours.
