PETALING JAYA (Oct 9): The Buildings Department of the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) will visit  Palma Apartments to identify units where illegal building extensions were constructed, said president Suliman Abd Rahman.

“MPS will not tolerate building extensions done without approval from the council. If tomorrow, these extensions give way it could endanger people,” he was quoted as saying by The Star.

The daily reports that an MPS officer has indicated that the extensions on the ground floor were slated to be demolished.

Regarding the issue of stalls operating without proper water supply, Suliman said that MPS’ Health Department would investigate.

“MPS is serious about health issues and we will confiscate all the chicken coops and birds from those keeping them at Palma Apartments.”

Those who contravene the council’s by-laws would have action taken against them, he said. 

Regarding the matter of community bins, KDEB Waste Management public relations and administration head Mahfuzah Muhamad Tarmidi said the matter would be discussed with MPS, to determine the number of bins needed for each block.

“We understand that the high number of people living in the 16 blocks had contributed to a large amount of domestic garbage.

“KDEB’s operations unit is facing difficulty as people tend to place their garbage later in the morning, that is after the collection time of 6am.

“Our officers will work out a schedule to better serve the residents of Palma Apartments,” added Mahfuzah.
