: The Johor government is prepared to study increasing the compound fine for factory owners and animal rearers caught dumping waste into rivers and causing pollution.

State Local Government, Urban Wellbeing and Environment Committee chairman Tan Chen Choon said this was to prevent further pollution of rivers in the state. “If the need arises, the Johor DOE will propose to the Housing and Local Government Ministry to amend the part on the compound value,” he said at the State Assembly yesterday.

He was responding to a question by Abd Taib Abu Bakar on whether the government had plans to increase the compound on those caught dumping waste into rivers.
