SHAH ALAM: A total of 19 contractors have been axed by the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) for going on strike. The contractors are alleged to have opposed the council's policy of holding open tenders for solid waste and cleaning contracts.
“MPKj councillor Eddie Ng said the decision was made on Wednesday, after investigations revealed that the contractors had stop carrying out their duties since Saturday (Jan 7).
He said seven new contractors have been appointed to take over with immediate effect.
Meanwhile investigations are ongoing to determine if any of the other 111 contractors have resorted to undermining MPKj over the open tender policy.
Under policy, the municipality will be divided into 47 zones each with a single waste management contractor.
Ng said contractors who feared being dropped mounted the strike besides threatening other existing contractors.
He said nails were found scattered across the roads leading to the Refuse Derivative Fuel Plant in Semenyih. Contractor’s lorries parked outside the premises also had their tires slashed.
On Wednesday, several MPKj contractors had received threats via text messages warning them that their vehicles would be vandalised if they carried out their tasks.
Ng said the scare tactic had worked because some of the contractors had failed to work their routes with excuses that they were having equipment-related problems.
“Quite a number of contractors called and cited that they were having problems with their lorries or equipment,” Ng said.
The threats have caused widespread disruption to garbage collection in Bukit Belimbing, Taming Jaya, Segar Jaya, Cheras Hartamas, Kajang Mewah and Bangi.
Ng said the municipal council is dispatching its in-house garbage collection teams to pick up the waste from the affected areas.
He said MPKj had been swamped with complaints about the situation and added that ratepayers had even resorted to going to his home to lodge reports.
Only two contractors have so far lodged police reports over the threats that were sent out early yesterday morning.
MPKj president Datuk Hasan Nawawi Abd Rahman met with councillors in an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss contingency plans to deal with the situation.
Ng said Hasan Nawawi, would be lodging a police report in the next few days over the incidents.

（莎阿南讯）雪州政府固体垃圾清理服务被捣乱层面扩大，继莎阿南、八打灵再也、梳邦再也及巴生后，连安邦再也与加影也“沦陷”，垃圾承包商先后遭不同方式所恐吓，令各地方政府被迫全面启动后援措施应对！
各地方政府在去年10月16日接管辖区固体垃圾管理服务时，已未雨绸缪委任后援队备不时之需，果然接管未满3个月，各地方政府先后面对连连状况，不但遭人背后破坏，垃圾量不寻常增加、值勤时受阻、也有不少承包商更遭恐吓。
承包商为安全不开工
继早前莎阿南承包商以罢工要挟市政厅续约后，加影地区也有承包商遭恐吓，有些承包商为了“保命”以各种理由推搪不开工，以致各地区都出现垃圾无人清理情况。
据《雪州时报》了解，加影区承包商除了接到短讯恐吓外，前往士毛月垃圾循环燃料中心的道路更被人蓄意堆放石头与铁钉，以阻止承包商运载垃圾到该中心。
与此同时，灵市垃圾异常剧激增状况不但恶化，连范围也扩大至哥打白沙罗与斯里白沙罗，逼得市政厅成立队伍追踪背后搞破坏的流氓承包商，因为，从蛛丝马迹中，当局不排除异常的垃圾量是有心人士故意倾倒在住宅区或路旁，以制造地方政府无力接管的假象。
安邦垃圾量异常情况亦然，据说有个“垃圾虫”队伍，专把垃圾载到住家丢弃，借此抹黑市议会办事不力，就连市议员也成为攻击对象，市议员章彩花住家更被“垃圾虫”丢垃圾。
启动热线监督状况
基于状况陷入白热化，雪州政府上周当机立断采取应对措施，包括宣布从1月17日起，启动免付费投诉热线1-800-88-2824供市民投报，民众可从上午8时至下午6时这段期间拨打热线，接线员将记录投诉，所属地方政府将在24小时内跟进处理。
掌管地方政府事务行政议员刘天球宣布热线之际，也表明将指示所有垃圾承包商值勤时身穿公司指定外套，让人民协助州政府监督承包商表现，借此加强服务表现。
他说，任何执勤承包商员工必须穿上印有有关公司商号制服或外套，这样一来，人民就可以掌握有关承包商资料，协助州政府监督。
另一方面，加影市议员黄田志受访时向本报说，自市议会接管垃圾清理服务后，承包商先后接到恐吓不敢开工，该辖区垃圾问题日趋严重，市议会被逼出动所有后援队清理垃圾。
黄田志：终止19罢工承包商合约
他说，虽然只有两名承包商正式向当局投诉，但据了解有很多承包商受到威慑，但却噤若寒蝉不敢声张。
他透露，基于事态严重，加影市议会主席哈山纳瓦威周四召集紧急会议，并议决终止19名参与罢工行动承包商合约，另委7名承包商接任，相信新承包商投入服务后可减缓问题。
他说，市议会也已委任官员，针对各种承包商被恐吓行为向警方投报。据市议会调查，被革职承包商从上周六开始罢工，理由是反对市议会公开招标。
“市议会现有111承包商，在新政策下当局将把辖区清洁服务分成47个区，意味着只委任47名承包商，这些承包商担心失业而罢工，我们仍在调查是否有其他涉及者。”
据了解，不法份子除了在承包商值勤时要挟他们即刻收工，承包商也接到恐吓短讯，指不停工就向他们的工具下手，承包商为自保唯有砌词不开工，以致垃圾无人清理。
他说，市议会之前委任10后备承包商经全部出动；但涉及地区很广，一时三刻未能解决，除市议会投诉组外，所有市议员服务中心都接到投诉，他不排除背后另有文章。
目前出问题地区包括杨桃岭，陈明再也、斯嘉城、鸿运花园、合大岭，加影美华及万宜一带。
他说，公开招标势在必行，市议会现已完成清洁服务招标，遴选了69名承包商，2月1日开工；至于垃圾清理服务程序也完成，料在3月开工。
李映霞：制造无能假象
莲花苑区州议员李映霞指出，有一群人数不明的“垃圾虫”，是在两三周前出现，并聚集在班登柏兰岭；初步怀疑有关动机是要让市民误解，以为地方政府无力接管固体废料管理。
“过去两周，市议会确有部分垃圾承包商不收垃圾，迫使她、市议会与市议员自费聘请私人承包商清理垃圾。
市议会公关诺哈雅蒂说，过去一周诉激增，共接到100通拒绝留名与联络方式投诉，以致市议会需重新安排垃圾承包商值勤表。
她不排除连串的垃圾问蓄意破坏行为，相信是心怀不满承包商所为。
纳查鲁丁：范围扩大疲于奔命
灵市方面，市政厅公共投诉组主任东姑纳查鲁丁再努丁说，本周垃圾投诉继续增加，范围更从PJS 2与附近地区，扩大至哥打白沙罗第6区、7区及8区及斯里白沙罗。
“一些遭撤换的承包商把住家垃圾丢弃在路边，但大部分垃圾已被市政厅派出的承包商清理干净，这些流氓承包商行为已影响城市卫生。”
嘉法：莎市情况稍缓和
另一方面，莎阿南市长拿督嘉法指出，市政厅上周面对的临时承包商值勤时遭蓄意阻挡及恐吓情况已稍回缓。
他受询时隐晦指出，此商业问题还涉及其他因素以致情况较为复杂；不过，市政厅与达鲁益善集团的承包商如常按照时间表收垃圾，以期减低垃圾囤积及投诉问题。
市政厅是基于早前撤换约20名承包商后，而向雪州政府子公司达鲁益善集团（KDEB）求助，岂料该公司派出的临时承包商，在莎阿南第七区、第九区及第十七区收取垃圾时遭阻，他们的罗里不被允许进入，而司机更被恐吓。
