KUALA TERENGGANU, Oct 7 — The Terengganu state government plans to increase waste collection trips from Pulau Redang to the mainland from once every two days to daily, to address waste management issues on the resort island.
State Local Government, Housing and Health Committee chairman Datuk Wan Sukairi Wan Abdullah said the proposal was among the matters discussed during Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar’s visit to Pulau Redang with members of the State Executive Council (MMKN).
“The visit to Pulau Redang focused on solid waste management issues, including the existing incinerator and its operation.
“We also inspected the waste storage facility being built by the Kuala Terengganu City Council (MBKT), which is expected to be completed soon. Insya-Allah, the waste problem on Pulau Redang will not recur,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
