GEORGE TOWN: With durian season fast approaching and dengue cases on the rise, a worrying connection can be made between the two.
The disposal of durian skin may seem simple, but the consequences of any failure to properly do so can be detrimental, said state environment and welfare committee chairman Phee Boon Poh.
Phee said he had proposed to the Penang Island City Council and Seberang Prai City Council that before issuing temporary licences to stall operators, they impose a condition that the skin must be disposed of in a proper manner. “Roadside traders can collect the skin and place it in a basket which can then be collected and sent to the orchards.
