Background "We don't want a disposal site near our village!" said Mr. Mohd. Bahir of Kg.Mohd Nor, one of many residents who lived in the nearby villages and firmly were opposing a proposed sanitary landfill near Bukit Payung, Batu Pahat. Currently, all waste collections from the district are sent to the Simpang Renggam dumpsite, which is almost at its maximum capacity. A new sanitary landfill needs to be operational and a new one has been proposed to cater for solid wastes from the Batu Pahat and its surrounding areas. It would be operational for 7 years, with an expected waste capacity of 650 ton/day of domestic solid wastes. The Project would cater for wastes from Batu Pahat and Kluang areas. Even though the DEIA has been approved and the proposed area set and planned by the local authority in the Master Plan, the Department of Solid Waste Management (or Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pejal Negara (JPSPN)) and the local authority needs an independent or secondary opinion by employing Mr. Adam of the MakeMoney Consultant Pvt. Ltd. to help smoothen the implementation process with as little conflict and objections as possible. Under the signed contract, he is supposed to give feedbacks within a two week period from the date of contract approval.
