KOTA KINABALU: Local authorities have yet to identify who indiscriminately dumped piles of files in an open space near a beach in Putatan district. Putatan district officer Masawi Salleh said that while the culprits have yet to be identified, it was fortunate that the documents dumped were not classified as ‘important documents’. He added that only one file, containing documents for office keeping, was found. Regarding the public’s habit of dumping rubbish in undesignated open areas, Masawi said stricter enforcement would be implemented. He said notices and warnings have been posted many times to stop people using the area as a dumping ground, but these have gone unheeded.
