Whenever I received a call from my tenant’s wife, a shiver crept up my spine. She heralded bad news. The town municipal (Dewan Bandaraya KL) had served me a summon for not depositing garbage in a disposal bin. The gravity of this offence carried a fine of RM30.00.
In every house plan a garbage compartment is a mandatory requirement. House occupants are expected to deposit their rubbish in the garbage compartment.
In my case, some neighbors have utilized the garbage compartment to store their garden tools, old newspapers and other personal items. They have opted instead to place plastics bags of domestic waste on the 3 ft pavement directly outside the garbage compartment. Dogs and cats foraging for food, helped to strew garbage on the floor making it frustrating for the garbage collectors to pick the garbage. I think this might have been one of the reasons that the new ruling requires house owners to buy a disposal bin, deposit their domestic waste into it and place the bin in the garbage compartment.
I refused to supply her a garbage bin. I am not the occupant of the house. Can she buy and send me the bill? No, definitely not. What will happen to the garbage bin when she terminates her tenancy with me? I do not want her used garbage bin, my new tenant will not want a used one.
After my assurance that she can take it along when she leaves, then only she agreed to buy the garbage bin. As for me, I swallowed the fine and decided to ignore her complaints about the leaking toilet bowl.
