(Miri, 7th) Regarding the Miri City Council's move to remove large trash bins, Sarawak DAP Secretary Alan Ling stated that this is a wrong decision, which has led to garbage piling up in several places, severely affecting the city's appearance and public health.
Alan Ling pointed out that he recently received complaints from the public in the Eastern Valley Industrial Area about the lack of large trash bins, resulting in garbage being dumped everywhere and worsening environmental hygiene.
He personally went to inspect and found the situation similar to that in several other locations, where the problem is extremely serious and requires immediate action.
“Why not continue to use large trash bins along with strict enforcement and supervision to facilitate the general public, rather than stopping the service of providing large trash bins due to the irresponsible behavior of a few, causing most law-abiding citizens to suffer, and furthermore affecting the city's appearance?”
“The municipal council should provide basic waste disposal facilities, not remove large trash bins, leading to littering and affecting the daily lives of residents and businesses.”
According to his understanding, the original large trash bins are becoming "heroes with no work to do" because, after the Miri City Council canceled this service, contractors had to keep the bins stored in their warehouses, resulting in waste.
Alan Ling urges the Miri City Council to quickly restore the supply of large trash bins, emphasizing that this is not only a basic welfare that the public is entitled to, but also crucial to maintaining the overall cityscape of Miri. The municipal council must take responsibility and handle this matter properly.
“Instead of arranging for contractors to clean up, it would be more efficient to place large trash bins for public convenience,” he emphasized.
Alan Ling also urged the public to use public facilities correctly and avoid improper use, contributing to environmental sanitation together.
