What legal bylaw was used to shut down these operations?

Question

Accepted Answer

The MDKS Licensing, Business Trade, and Industrial bylaws 2007 were invoked to halt illegal plastic processing operations.

Six illegal plastic processing plants in Kuala Selangor have been effectively shut down through the disconnection of their electricity and water supplies. This action was executed as part of an integrated operation involving multiple government agencies, specifically in accordance with the MDKS Licensing, Business Trade, and Industrial bylaws 2007. The operation targeted premises in the Ijok, Jeram, and Bestari Jaya areas, aiming to cripple the activities of these unlicensed facilities.
Integrated Operation Cripples Illegal Factories

An integrated operation, commencing at 10am and lasting for three hours, saw the water and electricity supply cut off to six illegal plastic processing plants. This action was taken by a coalition of six government agencies, including the Kuala Selangor District Council (MDKS), Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, the Department of Environment, the police, and the Kuala Selangor District and Land Office. The operation focused on four plants in the Ijok area and one each in Jeram and Bestari Jaya.
Bylaws Utilised for Enforcement

The enforcement action was carried out under the authority of the MDKS Licensing, Business Trade, and Industrial bylaws 2007. This legal framework provided the basis for the authorities to disconnect essential utilities, thereby halting the operations of the unlicensed factories. MDKS assistant enforcement officer Lokman Ujang confirmed that this measure was implemented to ensure the complete cessation of activities at the targeted sites.
Previous Detection and Current Status

Prior to this operation, eight illegal plastic processing factories had been identified in the Kuala Selangor district. However, two of these had already ceased operations and cleared their plastic waste. The recent intervention specifically targeted the remaining six facilities, ensuring their operational capacity was compromised through the disruption of their utility services. Bernama observed stockpiles of unprocessed plastic and processing machinery left behind, suggesting operators had likely abandoned the sites approximately a month prior.
