KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) demolished an illegal structure in Jalan Sembilang in Taman Tenaga, Bandar Tun Razak, for selling vape and its accessories.
The joint operation with Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), the police and Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) was carried out after the business owner failed to comply with evacuation notices issued by DBKL last Sept 2 and Jan 12.
“The notices were issued under Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974, which prohibits constructing permanent structures without approval.
“The operation was carried out after TNB cut off electricity supply and the premises was vacated. The operation proceeded smoothly,” DBKL said in a social media post.
On the same day, 89 notices were issued to heavy vehicles, including lorries and trailers, for causing pollution and disrupting the safety of road users around Jalan Chan Sow Lin.
DBKL said the first “Operasi Bersepadu Bersih” of the year was a joint operation involving the police, Road Transport Department (JPJ), Environment Department (DOE) and SWCorp.
“DBKL issued 10 compounds to vehicles carrying construction materials without permits, uncovered lorries and poorly maintained vehicles.
“The compounds were issued under the Transportation of Materials (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) By-Law 1997.
Other notices were also issued by the police, JPJ, DOE and SWCorp.
DBKL also temporarily closed down a construction site in Bukit Damansara that was found to have four mosquito breeding sites.
“Four notices related to the collection of mosquito larvae were issued under Destruction of Disease-Bearing Insects Act 1975,” the authority said.
DBKL also checked 37 houses near a Bukit Damansara construction site and issued six notices after mosquito larvae were found.
“Thermal fogging has been carried out along with larvaciding,” DBKL said.
