Published on 22 Jul 2025 9:21:38 PM

Litterbugs can now be fined up to RM3,000 for repeat offences following the passing of amendments to the Street, Drainage and Building Act.

Pet owners who fail to clean up after their animals would also be liable under the new law, as their waste is considered litter in public.

Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the law applies equally to everyone including foreign nationals found guilty of littering in public spaces.
