13/06/2005 The Sun

SHAH ALAM: One of the developers who cleared large areas of land next to the Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam Agriculture Park that sparked a public outcry recently was today fined RM60,000 by the Sessions Court for not complying with the conditions of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval.

Judge Suraya Othman imposed the fine after Sin Heap Lee Development Sdn Bhd, represented by its director Au Lai Koong, pleaded guilty to the charge under Section 34A(7) of the Environmental Quality Act 1974.

The offence carries a maximum fine of RM100,000 or five years' jail or both, if convicted. Au paid the fine.

Sin Heap Lee admitted to not complying with the conditions of the EIA approval dated Jan 7, 2003, including not providing an adequate drainage system.

It also did not build an embankment around the liquid fuel reserve tank to control spillage or display the EIA approval conditions at the project site.

The company committed the offence on Nov 24 last year.
