PETALING JAYA:

 E-waste imports are banned from today following an “absolute prohibition” order by the customs department, says the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said this decision was made by a task force formed to tackle e-waste dumping in Malaysia.

“E-waste is no longer allowed to enter the country. This must be coupled with stern enforcement involving all agencies,” he said in a statement. - FMT
