The people opposing the government’s plan to build an incinerator in Kepong to burn away garbage said today they are not only opposing its construction in their backyard but to such incinerators elsewhere in the country.

“In the campaign by the Kuala Lumpur Rejects Incinerator Action Committee (KTI), we have always objected to plans to build an incinerator because of health and environmental concerns,” KTI said in a statement today.
