00:00 Residents of Sri Manja court in Petaling Jaya want authorities to stop the pollution in
00:11 the area.
00:15 Even now the interviews are going on, the lorries are going on.
00:18 So old days are happening.
00:20 I'm very, very angry on this because 30 years I'm staying here and supposed to be improve
00:28 this environment is not improving.
00:31 The environment in Sri Manja is affected by the lorries that are coming in.
00:39 So it's not comfortable for the residents.
00:44 We are in the Denggi era, we don't want to use the Denggi products, the waste is thrown away.
00:54 The view is not suitable for a condo with a hoarding like this and houses like that.
01:04 So how can we process the people in our condo?
01:08 So we have to take action immediately.
01:11 The residents say they are frustrated with the noise and odour pollution emitted by the
01:18 garbage lorries which pass through the road beside the condominium daily.
01:22 They say the lorry operators would then unload the waste on a piece of land about 500 metres
01:27 behind Block G of the condominium and the land had been converted into an illegal dump site.
01:33 They also said there are other illegal partitions built on this land used as a parking bay for
01:38 lorries and heavy vehicles.
01:39 This is a reserve land, doesn't mean you can bring everything here to go and set up and
01:44 don't think about the residency.
01:46 Who are staying here?
01:47 Human beings are staying here.
01:48 What is this happening?
01:50 Our government should think about it, which is what you need to approve, what not to approve.
01:55 At 5.30am I can hear the lorries' sounds and dogs barking left and right.
02:03 We are starting a job at 8 or 7 o'clock but it is disturbing.
02:08 It is uncomfortable because most of the time the lorries are going now and my children
02:13 are studying here.
02:14 I was thinking about writing a letter to the Ministry of Business.
02:18 So what is this, we are talking about more gold, greens and all other things.
02:22 Actually this issue has been going on for a long time, more than 3 or 4 years.
02:26 But last year in July, August we met with the MPJ about the issue we were solving at
02:34 the back, the issue of the lorries being dumped.
02:37 We met with him twice or thrice, the department that is in charge of the waste, but he did
02:43 not respond.
02:43 But we will try again to meet with the MPJ.
02:46 The residents urge the authorities to do something to ensure a conducive living environment
02:51 for them and their children.
02:52 Stop the pollution!
02:57 Stop the pollution!
02:59 Stop the pollution!
03:01 Stop the pollution!
