Strict enforcement key to success
PETALING JAYA: Household waste segregation is a positive step towards creating a caring society, provided it is accompanied with strict enforcement and adequate education.
Residents' associations told The Malay Mail although Malaysians may need to be groomed to segregate their waste, poor enforcement and education may hinder its efficiency.
TAN: Timely move
"I do not think any society is ready for such a policy but we have to start somewhere," he said yesterday.
He said the policy would be less effective if weaknesses in the administrative system such as poor enforcement were rampant.
Maxwell Tower Owners' Association chairman Gary Yeoh said poor planning and lack of public awareness also pose a problem.
"I have yet to see adequate explanation from the government on what residents are supposed to do."
