Meanwhile, a fine was also issued on a company at Jalan Bunga Kenangan, Seria for letting wastewater that was mixed with paint, flow into a drainage.
Both parties were given seven days to settle the fine. Failure to do so will result in the case being brought to court.
If found guilty, the individual will be fined at least BND1,000 and not more than BND3,000 for the first offence and at least BND3,000 and not more than BND9,000, imprisonment of not more than six months or both for subsequent offences.
