MR2 burnings

UPDATE: 28 July 2025

TO COB - MPS - JAS

RE: ILLEGAL BURNINGS AT MR2  AREA

We refer to our previous letter concerning the serious issue of burning garbage and recurring smoke pollution affecting the residents of MR2 Alpine.

Despite our formal complaint sent 22nd June 2025, we regret to inform you that no response or visible action has been received from the relevant authorities to date. The situation remains unresolved, and residents are continuously suffering from the unhealthy and hazardous air quality due to suspected illegal burnings in the surrounding areas.

The exact location is: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3%C2%B018'00.8%22N+101%C2%B030'09.9%22E/@3.3002176,101.5001793,875m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d3.3002176!4d101.5027542?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

This ongoing problem not only causes daily inconvenience and distress but now poses a serious health and environmental hazard. Many residents, including families with children and elderly persons, have reported persistent exposure to smoke and foul burning odors.

We hereby urge the authorities, especially COB MPS and Jabatan Alam Sekitar, to take immediate and firm enforcement actions to:

1. Investigate and identify the source(s) of the illegal burning activities.

2. Issue enforcement notices or compound fines to any perpetrators found guilty.

3. Deploy preventive surveillance or patrols in the affected areas to avoid recurrence.

4. Provide a clear action plan or resolution timeline to the MR2 Alpine Management and its residents.
   
   

Failure to take timely action could result in escalated complaints to higher state or federal levels, as this matter is now a public safety and environmental crisis.

We thank you for your attention and look forward to your immediate response and resolution plan.

Yours sincerely,

MR2 ALPINE–DALEA MO team

RE :  Request for Immediate Investigation and Action on Recurrent Burning Smell and Smoke Detected in MR2 Alpine Area

Attention: Noriza binti Bahari / Mr Ismie / Mr Ekhmal,

Yang Berhormat Datuk Bandar,

On behalf of the Joint Management Body (JMB) of MR2 Alpine, we write to express our urgent concern regarding a recurring issue that has been severely affecting the quality of life of our residents — namely, the persistent presence of burning smells and visible smoke around the MR2 Alpine vicinity over the past several weeks.

Numerous complaints have been received from residents regarding this matter. The smell of burning and periodic appearance of smoke not only cause discomfort but are now becoming a serious health hazard, particularly for children, the elderly, and residents with respiratory conditions.

While the exact source of the smoke remains unclear, there is growing suspicion within the community that illegal open burning is taking place, reminiscent of similar incidents reported several years ago in the same area.

As such, we urgently request the intervention of MPS to:

1.     Conduct a thorough investigation in and around the MR2 Alpine area to identify the source of the burning.

2.     Take immediate enforcement action against any parties found to be conducting illegal open burning activities.

3.     Provide MR2 Alpine JMB with a formal report and update on the actions taken and proposed measures to prevent recurrence of this issue.

This matter has escalated to a level where it directly impacts the well-being of our community. We hope MPS will act swiftly and decisively to safeguard the health and environment of MR2 Alpine residents.

We thank you in advance for your attention and cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further details.

Per: Permintaan Tindakan Segera Berhubung Bau dan Asap Pembakaran Berulang di Kawasan MR2 Alpine

Yang Berhormat Datuk Bandar,

Pihak Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bersama (JMB) MR2 Alpine ingin menyuarakan kebimbangan serius terhadap isu berulang yang telah menjejaskan kualiti hidup penduduk kami — iaitu kewujudan bau pembakaran dan asap yang berterusan di sekitar kawasan MR2 Alpine sejak beberapa minggu lalu.

Pelbagai aduan telah diterima daripada penduduk mengenai perkara ini. Bau pembakaran dan kehadiran asap bukan sahaja menyebabkan ketidakselesaan, malah kini telah menjadi satu ancaman kesihatan yang serius, terutamanya kepada kanak-kanak, warga emas, serta individu yang menghidap masalah pernafasan.

Walaupun punca sebenar asap ini masih belum dikenal pasti, terdapat syak wasangka kuat bahawa aktiviti pembakaran terbuka secara haram sedang berlaku — sebagaimana yang pernah dilaporkan beberapa tahun dahulu di kawasan yang sama.

Sehubungan itu, kami memohon agar pihak MPS segera campur tangan dan mengambil tindakan berikut:

1. Melaksanakan siasatan menyeluruh di kawasan MR2 Alpine dan sekelilingnya untuk mengenal pasti punca sebenar pembakaran.

2.     Mengambil tindakan penguatkuasaan segera terhadap mana-mana pihak yang didapati melakukan pembakaran terbuka secara haram.

3.     Menyediakan laporan rasmi dan makluman kepada JMB MR2 Alpine berkenaan tindakan yang telah diambil serta langkah-langkah pencegahan yang dirancang.

Isu ini telah mencapai tahap yang membimbangkan dan menjejaskan kesihatan serta kesejahteraan komuniti kami. Kami berharap pihak MPS akan mengambil tindakan segera dan tegas demi menjaga kepentingan awam.

Kami dahului dengan ucapan terima kasih atas perhatian dan kerjasama pihak tuan. Sekiranya memerlukan maklumat lanjut, sila hubungi kami di talian yang tertera di bawah.

Yang benar,

Sharif van der Burgh
