中央管垃圾
下议院在本周通过固体废料及公共清洁管理法案和固体废料及公共清洁管理公司法案。在通过这两条法案后，房屋及地方政府部通过一个管理机构，正式接管马来半岛和纳闽各大城小镇的垃圾收拾和公共清洁服务。 在这两条法令底下，房屋及地方政府部和有关机构将能有权制定有关垃圾的处理的条规，包括要那些抛多垃圾者缴付额外费用和推动公众进行垃圾再循环等。部长说，有鉴于固体废料及公共清洁管理公司辖属该部门，将来国会议员将可把垃圾的问题带进国会辩论；不像现在，国内数家垃圾收拾公司与个别的州政府和地方政府交涉，国内固体废料的问题完全在他掌控之外。 一般民众对公共服务私营化的做法分外敏感。因此，对普罗大众来说，他们最关心的不是这两条法案将如何改善国内的垃圾处理问题，而是在这两条法案通过以后，他们会不会又被逼缴付额外的收费。
