Ops Warta
Hurry up and pay your traffic summonses, because Ops Warta will be reactivated this coming Thursday! Traffic offenders with outstanding summonses or a warrant of arrest are urged to settle them in the next few days before traffic police carry out roadblocks, or even turn up at your premises (for serious offenders). It’s also a good idea to settle any summonses quickly as outstanding summonses may prevent you from renewing your road tax.

Household Waste Separation Policy
Got your bins ready? The waste separation ruling will be implemented starting on 1 September (next Tuesday) in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Pahang, Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Perlis and Kedah.
The rubbish will be collected based on a 2+1 schedule with special “split” collection vehicles, where the collection of residual waste will be twice a week while another collection will be dedicated for the recyclable materials.
Find out more about the policy and how to effectively separate your household waste from our Waste Separation Guide infographic and article! 🙂
