I COULDN’T agree more with Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin. Illegal importers of unwanted trash from developed countries (and from one Third World country) as reported are indeed traitors to this country (“DOE gets tough on e-waste”, The Star, May 30; online at bit.ly/star_dump).

These people who had full knowledge of the contaminated and unrecyclable waste in the containers should be taken to court. Autho-rities in the know, who allowed this trash to land on our shores, have to be investigated too.
