COMMUNITY leaders in Brickfields are calling for the iconic Little India enclave to be designated a “no-banner zone”, following recent enforcement action against a local restaurant for illegal advertising. The fine was issued under Advertisement By-Laws (Federal Territory) 1982. Rajendran says a ‘no-banner zone’ will only work if monitoring is constant. StarMetro previously reported that DBKL carries out monthly enforcement operations, removing between 25,000 and 30,000 illegal banners and bunting on average. Such advertisements fall under Advertisement By-Laws (Federal Territory) 1982 as well as Vandalism By-Laws (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) 1991.
