GEORGE TOWN: Penang has become the first state to introduce the Strata Scheme for Abandoned Vehicles, a collaboration between the Transport Ministry, state government, local authorities and the private sector to tackle the issue of dumping in strata housing areas.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the scheme addresses the serious issues caused by abandoned vehicles, including parking shortages that fuel resident tensions, as well as public health risks from Aedes mosquitoes breeding and potential use in crime.
