SUPP Public Complaints Bureau (SPCB) was recently approached by the residents staying at Taman Hong Hong, Jalan Burung Lilin. Their spokesperson complained of dumping of culverts and building waste materials for construction of an access to a house by the owner.

Following the complaint the issue was immediately highlighted and brought up to the attention of the Majlis Perbandaran Padawan (MPP) and together with officers from MPP’s Enforcement and Engineering Department went to inspect and assess the situation.

During the meeting at the site of the construction of the illegal access, officers from the Enforcement Department of MPP issued a stop work order under Section 8A (4) Buildings Ordinance, 1994 and a further notice to restore the monsoon drain to its original state within fourteen (14) days under Section 136 (1)(a) of the Local Authorities Ordinance 1996.

The house owner concerned have now removed and cleared the culverts from the drain and restored the monsoon drain to its original state and SPCB would like to thank the house owner for his cooperation with MPP to have the matter resolved quickly.
