Taman Muhibbah Zone councillor Mohamad Hishamuddin Samuri said although operating licences had been issued to factory operators, the legalisation process had yet to take place. “The legalisation process is quite slow, despite having reached the implementation phase,” said Hishamuddin. He suggested that the local council appoint a consultant to speed up the process if there was a shortage of staff to carry out the exercise. He said the Planning Permission ensured proposed projects complied with local planning regulations and land-use policies. “At the same time, they also want the local council to look into their needs in line with the changing times,” he added.
