BANGI: The government has given full latitude to authorities to combat corruption and abuse of power, including activities related to the illegal importation of electronic waste (e-waste).

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the Cabinet had taken a firm stance on Friday (Jan 23) to strictly prohibit any act that would turn Malaysia into an e-waste dumping ground.
