THE owner of the piece of idle land in Jalan Lembah Permai, Tanjung Bungah, Penang, has been ordered by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) and state Health Department to clear the overgrowth and abandoned materials.

MBPP councillor Connie Tan Hooi Peng said the idle land, which previously received complaints of being a mosquito breeding ground from residents of the Azuria Condominium and Permai Ria Apartments nearby, was a private plot.
