GEORGE TOWN: The contractors who dumped construction debris into the sea from an open air parking lot in Lebuh Farquhar here on April 19 were nabbed within four hours, after a security camera caught their lorry's licence plate number. They were illegally renovating a house nearby," said the DOE source. He said in renovation projects with permits, the contractors had to place a roll-on-roll-off bin on site to collect all construction debris for proper disposal. On April 19, a member of the public recorded two men on video dumping their waste in broad daylight. "There are too many people dumping waste illegally in Penang, including in my constituency.
