Crackdown on illegal e-waste recycling ops must continue, don’t heed critics, say NGOs

KUALA LUMPUR: The crackdown on illegal e-waste recycling operations must continue despite criticism directed at the Federal Government, say non-governmental organisations (NGO).

The Basel Action Network (BAN) and Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) in a joint statement on Friday (Feb 28) raised concerns about criticism that has been levelled against the Malaysian government over the crackdown of illegal e-waste recycling operations that have mushroomed across the country.
