Some 150 SP residents protesting against a plastic recycling factory next to Taman Songket Indah, Sungai Petani.

PTAS spokesman Dr Sunny Tneoh said while the state government had gone to shut down a few illegal recycling factories by sealing them and cutting power supply, they appeared to be operating as usual. Tneoh, who is a medical doctor, also raised the issue of a recycling factory operating 15 metres away from Taman Songket Indah.A memorandum prepared by PTAS was sent to PAS’ Youth chief Khairil Nizam Khirudin so it could be brought to Parliament by PAS MPs. In receiving the memorandum, he said this matter was beyond politics, but purely an environmental matter, he told reporters.

“Can someone tell me what is wrong with my children? It has been over a year and this has been happening,” he said. PAS Youth chief Khairil Nizam Khirudin taking a look at Persatuan Tindakan Alam Sekitar SP pro-tem committee’s memorandum.
