The Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) is taking strict action against landowners who proceed with development projects without obtaining the necessary planning approvals. MBSP Mayor, Dato’ Baderul Amin Abdul Hamid, emphasized that MBSP recently prosecuted a landowner who was operating a car wash facility without proper authorization.

On October 24, 2024, the individual appeared before the Seberang Perai City Council’s Magistrate Court and pleaded guilty to the charges, resulting in a fine of RM15,000.

As a reminder to Seberang Perai residents, MBSP urges all parties to respect city planning regulations and avoid conducting any form of development or property repurposing without prior approval. “Firm action will be taken against any individuals or companies found to be carrying out unauthorized development activities,” Dato’ Baderul Amin stated.

During the same session, MBSP also advised all landowners to adhere to notices and conditions set by the council. The Mayor’s message serves as a warning to potential violators and an assurance to the public that MBSP will continue enforcing compliance to uphold orderly development in Seberang Perai.
