Town turning into a rubbish dump
A FORMER Muar municipal councillor has blasted a company responsible for garbage collection for its poor services which he claimed has turned Bandar Maharani into a rubbish dumping ground.
Ho Su Mong, who was the council’s works and development committee chairman for nine years, said Southern Waste Management Sdn Bhd (SWM) had neglected its obligations with poor service.
He said among the complaints was that in the Bakri new village, the garbage trucks would only appear once in 10 days. In other areas, it is between three and seven days.
“With such poor services, residents are forced to dump their rubbish along the roads.
“This has turned the town into a rubbish dump,” he said at the Muar district Coffee Merchants’ Association’s dinner here on Saturday night.
Ho, who is the association’s chairman, said residents could no longer tolerate shoddy services especially now when the roads are dirtied by leachate from the leaking trucks.
