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!
