Call to raise fine to RM1mil to be tabled

PETALING JAYA: A proposal to raise the existing RM50,000 fine to RM1mil for those who pollute water sources will be tabled at the Selangor state assembly in October, it was announced.

Mentri Besar Amirudin Shari said the penalty under the Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas) Enactment 1999 did not seem to deter those who polluted rivers and caused major water disruptions.
