NSTnation 'Entering the site is risky and could expose them to various threats' BukitIbam

Pahang Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation director Sharudin Hamid said no one is allowed to enter the dumpsite without receiving approval from the agency.

“The standard operating procedure is that no one is allowed into the area except for staff employed by the landfill operator and authorised garbage trucks. We will fence up the entire area to prevent people from trespassing into the landfill," he said. "Efforts to stop the Orang Asli from trespassing into the site could not be enforced as they kept returning. Entering the site is risky and could expose them to various threats," he said.

“We have separated the plastic, glass and aluminium materials and arranged near the huts for the middlemen to collect. Suddenly, when news reports about the dumpsite went viral, the middlemen did not turn up to buy the items.
