RAWANG, Dec 8 — The Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) has identified more premises illegally built on state-owned land to be demolished in the near future.
Its president Shamsul Shahril Badliza Mohd Noor said factories that have failed to vacate its premises after being issued a notice will be torn down.
“At the moment, MPS and the Gombak Land and District Office (PTD) is doing a survey on all the factories, workshops or buildings that were constructed on state-owned land.
“Priority is on the ones built on state-owned as no premises are allowed to operate (on it). Therefore, more premises will be issued notices and there will be more enforcement operations,” he said when met by the press after observing the demolishing of a heavy machinery workshop, recycling factory and cattle-breeding farm in Kuala Garing, here today.
The operations had begun at 10am, led by the Gombak PTD along with enforcement officers including police, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and the Drainage and Irrigation Department (JPS).
Shamsul Shahril said six out of eight illegally premises built along the Sungai Rawang riverbank have been knocked down through joint operations since November 24.
He said no river pollution incident was detected after the operations were held and added that regular surveillance is carried out to prevent encroachment.
“MPS, Gombak PTD and JPS will continue monitoring to ensure there is no encroachment into the areas and would also take necessary action if there are premises that breach the rules.”
