The Water Services Bill 2006 gone for its first reading in Parliament. There shouldnt be any polluting the rivers or streams either by the companies or individuals. The penalty is heavy to pay. Will the enforcement be quick? Will the officers drag their feet to book and charge the offenders? Will it be buried in all files over all files? Will the case ever walk in the court? If one contaminates water sources causing death, the penalty is death or $500,000 fine or both. Normal pollution to the rivers and streams will extract fines or prison sentence. So far nobody talks about it. The preventive mechanisms must be in place and protected 24/7. There shouldnt be any complacent amongst the officers in charge of protecting the natural resources of the country. Nobody should think of money and wants to make more money in the expense of the natural resources of the country by polluting it. The local authorities should beef up its enforcement now than waiting for directives. They shouldnt spend time and effort policing on morality on the people. The local councils should know where the best suit fits in its enforcement not chasing people for indecent behavior. It directions all wrong! I hope with this piece of legislation our natural rivers and streams will be freed of pollutants cause by humans and companies
Malaysia now you are talking.................but action must be required too
