: From Sept 1, developers and consulting engineers who are found not complying with the requirements of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan in Penang can be given compound notices of up to RM250,000.

“Therefore, with this gazetting, the offences of not complying with the requirements of the notice issued by the local authority under Section 121 can be compounded not less than RM1,500 and not exceeding RM5,000 for each offence. “Those convicted of an offence under Section 71 for failing to supervise the site resulting in the collapse of a slope or retaining wall will be compounded not less than RM75,000 and not more than RM250,000 for each offence,“ he said at a press conference here today.

“Of the 77 operations carried out in 2019, non-compliance has been identified 60 times compared to the previous year where only 18 non-compliance cases were recorded out of 18 operations carried out. Penalties that were too light were among the reasons for the high non-compliance rate.
