S'gor may reclaim land left vacant by places of worship
Ng says the state may give the land to someone else. Selangor government may take back land set aside for non-Muslim places of worship if it is left vacant after being approved for development. State local government and tourism committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim said this was to ensure that other people would also have a chance to develop the land. 'We would look into providing a reasonable deadline, say five years, for the applicants to build structures on the land given to them. 'If they fail to meet the deadline, the state government will consider taking back the land and giving it to someone else,' he said during the Selangor State Assembly sitting at Bangunan Dewan Negeri Selangor in Shah Alam. He was replying to a supplementary question by Lwi Kian Keong (PH-Sungai Pelek) on whether there was a deadline for building structures on land as he observed that some non-Muslim places of worship had yet to be built despite being granted approval. Ng emphasised that the construction of non-Muslim places of worship in every housing project must adhere to the Selangor State Planning Guidelines and Standards Manual, which outlined the minimum size and capacity of these buildings. On a separate matter, Ng said as of the first quarter of 2025, solid waste management and public cleansing agency KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) had recorded an 82.7% adherence rate to its service level agreement with the state government. 'The agreement outlined various service standards that need to be adhered to by KDEBWM such as the frequency in collecting domestic and bulk waste, reaction time towards complaints and cleanliness level at the locations after waste collection,' he said. He added that the number of notices to collect waste issued to KDEBWM by local councils had been decreasing since 2023, with 2,267 notices given out in 2023, 1,604 notices in 2024 and 776 notices as of May 2025. The sitting has been adjourned sine die.

KDEBWM uncovers five illegal waste dumping hotspots in Kuala Langat
KUALA LANGAT: KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) has identified five locations, each spanning two to four hectares, being used as illegal dumping sites in several areas within the Kuala Langat district. Its managing director, Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir, said the district has become a hotspot for large-scale illegal dumping due to its proximity to the Tanjung Dua Belas landfill. "Among the identified locations are Johan Setia, Sijangkang, Bukit Changgang, Telok Panglima Garang, Tanjung Dua Belas, and land lots near the sea. We believe these activities are carried out by people from outside Kuala Langat. "I suspect this is done by external parties, including factories, because all waste management tenders in this district are handled by KDEBWM, and we constantly monitor the schedule and movement of every truck to ensure waste is disposed of in the correct places," he told reporters at the Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) headquarters here today. Ramli said that KDEBWM, in collaboration with MPKL, has tried to curb this issue, including the collection of commercial and institutional industrial waste, over the past three years. However, it continues to occur and proliferate each year. In this regard, Ramli said the contract extension between KDEBWM and MPKL until July 2032 will serve as a stepping stone for both parties to work together in planning new approaches to address the illegal dumping problem in the Kuala Langat district. "As an initial step today, KDEBWM launched 25 units of 19-tonne compactor trucks, two 7.5-tonne mini compactors, and one arm roll truck equipped with roll-on roll-off (RoRo) bins, with an allocation totaling RM12 million for waste collection throughout the district. "The management of illegal waste falls outside KDEBWM's scope, but if there's a request from the District and Land Office, I have no problem mobilising available assets to clean up the affected areas with the assistance of MPKL," he said. Earlier, Ramli, accompanied by MPKL President Mohd Hasry Nor Mohd, officiated the launch of the Compactor Trucks and New KDEBWM Image at the MPKL headquarters compound here. - BERNAMA

Five illegal waste dumping sites found in Kuala Langat by KDEBWM
KUALA LANGAT: KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) has uncovered five illegal waste dumping sites in Kuala Langat, each spanning two to four hectares. The areas affected include Johan Setia, Sijangkang, Bukit Changgang, Telok Panglima Garang, and Tanjung Dua Belas. Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir, Managing Director of KDEBWM, stated that the district has become a hotspot for illegal dumping due to its proximity to the Tanjung Dua Belas landfill. 'We suspect external parties, including factories, are involved since all waste management tenders in Kuala Langat are handled by us,' he said during a press conference at the Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) headquarters. Despite efforts over the past three years, illegal dumping continues to escalate. To address this, KDEBWM and MPKL have extended their contract until July 2032, aiming to implement new strategies. As part of immediate action, KDEBWM launched 25 new 19-tonne compactor trucks, two 7.5-tonne mini compactors, and an arm roll truck with roll-on roll-off (RoRo) bins, costing RM12 million. While illegal waste management is not under KDEBWM's jurisdiction, Ramli assured cooperation with authorities to clean up affected areas if requested. The event was officiated by Ramli and MPKL President Datuk Amirul Azizan Abd Rahim at the MPKL headquarters.
