MPAJ demolishes illegal structure used as gathering spot for foreigners

Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) demolished an illegal structure in Pandan Mewah, Malaysia, following public complaints and a video showing the misuse of the site. The structure, located at Padang Jalan Mewah 4, was used to collect recyclable items and as a gathering spot for foreigners, according to a Facebook post from MPAJ.

The structure was removed along with overgrown vegetation and recyclable items gathered from the open space, with assistance from KDEB Waste Management and MPAJ's Enforcement Department. Two excavators and six roll-on-roll-off bins were used for the demolition and cleanup process. Additionally, 18 bird cages and 20 bird traps were removed from a location near the cleared area.

To prevent future incidents, MPAJ will monitor the area and take measures to deter irresponsible parties from misusing the open space. The council stresses the seriousness of illegal structures on public land, particularly those causing discomfort or disrupting community peace.
