KOTA SAMARAHAN: The Kota Samarahan Municipal Council’s (MPKS) effort to handle illegal dumping for the Chinese New Year celebration is highly appreciated by the residents in Kota Samarahan.
The average population expressed their satisfaction with the services provided by the Council and they expect the service to continue without being limited to the festive season.
Several units of RORO trash cans were placed at several locations known as ‘Hot Spot’ such as Desa Ilmu behind Everrise, Entingan street sale, behind 1 Malaysia Restaurant, behind KFC building, behind UNACO, Bandar Riyal market area, behind FARLEY, Taman Tiya Vista, Taman Samarindah, Taman Sentoria, Stakan Jaya Commercial Center and Mile 9 Housing Estate near OUM.
