HKR rally garbage could almost fill a house


Garbage left behind by opposition supporters after the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat rally could fill half of a single storey house.
KUALA LUMPUR: The garbage collected by Alam Flora Sdn Bhd (Alam Flora) during the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat rally organised by opposition parties on Jan 12 could fill half of a single-storey house.
Its Kuala Lumpur service manager Mohd Idris Mohamed Yusof said the collection did not include the litter inside Stadium Merdeka managed by Merdeka Heritage Trust.
“The garbage were collected from eight locations in the vicinity of the stadium, as well as along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Sultan, at KLCC, Pasar Seni, Masjid Negara, Kelab Sultan Sulaiman and Brickfields,” he told Bernama, here, today.
He said Alam Flora had to take two consecutive days from 7am to 8pm to clear and clean the areas, involving 79 workers and three compactor lorries at a cost of about RM21,250.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib said Alam Flora could submit a report and claim for any additional costs it had incurred.
Last Saturday, Pakatan Rakyat, made up of PAS, DAP and PKR held a rally at Merdeka Stadium. The rally was attended by some 100,000 supporters who gathered at several parts of the city and marched to the historic stadium.
The rally was incident free eclipsing fear that the rally could spark clashes between the police and opposition supporters.
It also set a new benchmark on how peaceful rallies can be conducted in the country.
