PETALING JAYA: The livelihood of local scrap metal collectors has taken a hit after foreigners, especially refugees, dominated the sector illegally in the recent years.
These foreign collectors are often seen sifting through waste bins and rubbish piles searching for scrap metal pieces such as aluminium cans, copper wires and cardboard boxes in the Klang Valley.
Acting on a tip-off, The Star team – which went on an undercover mission in Kajang, where such activities are reported to be rife – spotted several foreigners on their collection rounds. After some driving around, the team spotted one foreigner speeding on his sidecar motorcycle and tailed him to a house in Taman Kajang Ria some 2km away. The foreigner parked his machine and swiftly entered the house before shutting all the doors and windows.A peep inside showed heaps of grilles, aluminium cans and other metal pieces in the compound.
