No respite for dumping ground


Meadow of mess: The illegal dumpsite in Bukit Teh near Machang Bubuk in Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Illegal dumping at a marshland in Bukit Teh near Machang Bubok here is still going on despite the landowners being slapped with several notices to stop all illegal dumping activities and rehabilitate the land.

New mounds of discarded furniture, plastic waste, construction debris and planks were found on the 6.5ha dumpsite while existing waste such as sacks of agricultural waste on the marshland remain uncleared.
