DoE: Hong Kong firm that illegally brought in e-waste into Malaysia fined HK$13,000

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 20 — A Hong Kong-based company whose container was detained by Malaysian authorities in February this year has been convicted by a Hong Kong court for violating the Waste Disposal Ordinance .

Wan Abdul Latiff said a container was detained in Malaysia on February 21 by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department as a result of cooperation and information sharing between the two countries’ enforcement agencies on illegal transboundary movement activities. The importation of the PCB was made without obtaining approval from the Malaysian Basel Convention Authority, namely the DoE and classified as illegal as stipulated in Article 9 of the Basel Convention.
