  • In what is seen as a move to appease the fierce opposition, there are talks that the government is planning to reduce the capacity of the proposed controversial incinerator in Kampung Bohol, Puchong, from 1,500 to 600 tonnes of waste per day.

    But local residents, firmly opposed to having Asia's largest plant in Kampung Bohol near Kuala Lumpur are not about to fall for mere "talks". They have now turned the heat on Housing and Local Government Minister Ong Ka Ting.

    When met today, Ong said he was trying "his best to help the residents" but refused to divulge more on the grounds that his plans "may be pre-empted by someone else" if announced too soon.
