PUTRAJAYA: The Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government ministry (KPKT) will assist Penang with its post-flood solid waste management. "Without Act 672, the solid waste in Penang is technically managed by the state government itself. The centralised waste management initiative is undertaken by the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Corporation (SWCorp), a division under KPKT. He asked for backhoes and the Fire and Rescue Department to send lorries and remove the garbage." Some 1,000 Fire and Rescue Department personnel are also there in Penang to help the flood victims," he said.
