BATU GAJAH: Taking a firm stance against livestock being allowed to roam freely, the Batu Gajah District Council (MDBG) is stepping up efforts with the local community to prevent the problem from escalating.
On Monday, a JPKK community agent and residents of Kampung Air Mati, Tanjung Tualang, successfully captured a cow found roaming in a residential area at 7.13 am.
Despite numerous warnings, reminders and enforcement efforts, some livestock owners continue to disregard the rules by allowing their animals to roam freely, disrupting public order.
“Well done and congratulations to the JPKK community agent and residents for their concern and swift action.
“This initiative demonstrates that cooperation between MDBG and the community can help address the issue of roaming livestock, which can threaten public safety and disrupt public order.
“Livestock owners are reminded not to allow their animals to roam uncontrolled, particularly in residential areas and on roads.
“The safety of road users and the well-being of the community should never be taken lightly.
“Remember, the animals belong to you and so does the responsibility for them. Do not let your own negligence inconvenience or endanger others.
“MDBG, together with the community, will continue to intensify efforts to curb the problem of roaming livestock in the interest of a safer and more harmonious environment,” it said.
