Three years ago, I had written an article stating that it would be illegal to light up at public parks in Selangor (“Smoking ban in S‘gor parks begins”, June 1, 2017). Ng admitted that with thousands of parks and playgrounds in the state, council enforcement officers could not monitor all parks. He said there are 45 public parks within the city, with the most frequented ones being Taman Tasik Shah Alam, Taman Tasik Seksyen 7 and Taman Tasik Kota Kemuning. MBSA has a park ranger unit that monitors activities at the public parks,” he said. Maybe experiencing what cleaning contractors have to go through will make the litterbugs think twice before tainting any public park.
