IPOH: A RM250 fine will be imposed on business premises here if they refuse to comply with instructions to fly the Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with this year's National Day celebrations.
Ipoh mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin said a compound notice will be issued in accordance with the general conditions written on the back of each business premises’ licence under Section 107(2) of the Local Government Act.
"To enliven the celebrations this time, we have issued 6,000 flag installation notices to private premises in Ipoh and hoisted more than 5,000 Jalur Gemilang along the main streets and around Ipoh.
"We will monitor these premises regularly, usually a week before National Day, but all this time, the Ipoh City Council is still being tolerant by giving advice instead of issuing compound notices," he said after launching the 2022 council-level Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign at Persiaran Bandaraya here Thursday (Aug 18).
Over 1,000 city folk took part in the programme, which also featured a variety of interesting activities including a parade by the council enforcement team, a performance and the installation of the Jalur Gemilang on official council vehicles. – Bernama
