We start off today with updates on the ‘Daily Crackdown on Litterbugs in KK City’ as reported

in the Borneo Post Online 10 November 2021.

The Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) is cracking down on litterbugs by carrying out OP DEGIL

everyday in the city particularly in parks and public areas. In a statement on its facebook page DBKK

said OP DEGIL aims to promote awareness to the public on the importance to keep the city clean and

to teach litterbugs a lesson. The operation is targeted at individuals or companies who dirty or discard

rubbish in public areas, especially cigarette butts, tissues, drinking bottles and food containers. Under

DBKK Anti-litters by-law 1984 Amendment 2005, offenders will be given a choice of paying

COMPOUND ON THE SPOT (COS) of between RM30 and RM500 depending on the type and

amount of garbage disposed or showing up in court under SUMMON ON THE SPOT (SOS). If

convicted the offender will face a fine of not more than RM10 000, imprisonment not exceeding three

years or be punished by carrying out community work for four hours a day, for a period of not mor e

than three months. DBKK also stated that 1 776 summonses have been issued to litterbugs under

COS from January to October this year. Whereas 691 offenders have been hauled to court under

SOS since 2016. DBKK urged the public to play their part in maintaining the cleanliness of Kota

Kinabalu City. OP DEGIL will be carried out continuously to ensure the community is aware and care

about keeping the city clean.

That's all of the news for today and have a pleasant day ahead.
