PETALING JAYA: There is a need to review and coordinate existing legal acts related to water pollution, along with any proposed amendments to these laws, says Subang Jaya assemblyman Michelle Ng.
Ng, who chairs the Selangor water resource management special select committee, said legal discrepancies related to water pollution offences should also be given attention to avoid conflicting agency jurisdictions, especially in terms of the investigation that was currently happening in the field.
She said this in response to the government’s recent announcement that heavier punishments could be imposed on those who pollute and contaminate water sources under new amendments to existing laws. "The special select committee has also found that the maximum fine for water pollution offenders is RM75,000.
She added that human resources within agencies, machinery and water infrastructure should also be improved.
