JOHOR BARU: Foreigners and tourists are not exempt from the no-littering rule that is currently being enforced by the Johor government in efforts to clean up the state.
Johor Baru City Council mayor Datuk Mohd Noorazam Osman said a total of 62 compounds - with a maximum fine of RM500 - were handed out to individuals and premises found littering in the city last week.
"Whether it is enforcement officials in uniform or plainclothes, we will continue monitoring the situation to find and fine those littering red-handed under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974," he told the media after launching the Sustainability Corner exhibition at the Sultan Ismail Library here on Tuesday .
