KUALA LUMPUR: The Housing and Local Government Ministry is in the process to amend the 1976 Local Government Act to incorporate community service as a form of punishment for serial litterbugs, says Nga Kor Ming.

“If we receive approval from the Cabinet and Parliament, the new laws will mean that repeat offenders will not only be fined but will also be required to perform community service.
