“Kedah DOE has distributed leaflets regarding the ban on open burning to locals and carried out periodic patrols,” she said in a statement today, adding that the department had investigated all the complaints. She said that the Kedah DOE will impose a compound of RM2,000 for each pile of burning carried out and, if the burning spreads to a larger area, it will recommend opening an investigation paper with a maximum fine of RM500,000.
