Lambak Kanan Residents Cry Foul Over Indiscriminate Dumping
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - A bush near the Lambak Kanan Mosque at Perumahan Lambak Kanan in Berakas has been turned into a dumping ground by litterbugs.

Penghulu of Mukim Berakas B, Hj Ismail Apong, urged those who are responsible not to throw their garbage indiscriminately. "Let us keep our village clean as the habit of littering could create health problems and hygienic issues for all of us staying in the area," he said.

A resident said, "It is a mess. The whole place needs to be cleaned up."

Another resident suggested that suitable garbage disposal points should be made available for residents in the area so they could dispose their rubbish properly.

Residents in the area said they can opt for their rubbish to be collected by private disposal companies by paying a certain fee monthly.

"However, some of us here want to save money by disposing their rubbish themselves. They do so at specified locations which are quite far away from here.

For some people, the disposal points are too much of a journey that they find it more convenient to throw their rubbish at the lush bush nearby.

"This has got to stop if people want to conserve and protect the environment for the sake of our children and the future generations,"they said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
