An individual was issued a BND100 fine recently by the Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation (JASTRe) for littering in a public space.
The individual was captured on CCTV in Kampong Sungai Kebun violating Chapter 12(1) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act (Amendment) 2021.
The individual was given seven days to settle the fine, and failure to do so will result in the case being brought to court.
If found guilty, a fine between BND1,000 and BND3,000 will be issued for the first offence, and between BND3,000 and BND9,000 or imprisonment of no more than six months, or both, for subsequent offences. – Daniel Lim
