Subang Jaya rep calls for harsher laws, better coordination in combatting water pollution


PETALING JAYA: There is a need to review and coordinate existing legal acts related to water pollution, along with any proposed amendments to these laws, says Subang Jaya assemblyman Michelle Ng.

Ng, who chairs the Selangor water resource management special select committee, said legal discrepancies related to water pollution offences should also be given attention to avoid conflicting agency jurisdictions, especially in terms of the investigation that was currently happening in the field.
