THE war against illegal advertisements continues as the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) organised an operation to remove the bunting and stickers in three areas yesterday.
Divided into three teams, about 40 MPSJ staff members from the management services, enforcement and corporate planning departments headed to SS14, SS15 and SS19 to tear down advertisements that did not bear the permit stickers.
As with many other areas in the Klang Valley, signboards, lamp posts and TNB substations in these three commercial areas are plagued with illegal advertisements.
Clean up: MPSJ enforcement officers removing illegal advertisements in SS15. A total of 875 advertisements were removed in the operation.
Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh, who requested for the operation, said the council needed to have a task force to tackle the problem regularly.
She said an increase in requests for financial assistance at her service centre showed that there are potential “customers” for loan sharks in Subang Jaya.
“I have also seen teens being hired to put up the ah long advertisements,” she said.
MPSJ councillor Dr Loi Kheng Min questioned the validity of the serial numbers printed on some banners in lieu of the permit stickers. “This practice is not allowed. The numbers are just the reference numbers on the applications,” he said.
