TANAH MERAH, 24 JANUARY 2026 (SATURDAY) – The Tanah Merah District Council through the Licensing Division in collaboration with the Enforcement Division has taken strict enforcement action against traders at the Night Market Medan Tijari who were found to be neglecting environmental cleanliness aspects.
During the operation conducted on that Saturday, traders were fined immediately after being found disposing of food waste directly into the public drainage system.
This irresponsible action was detected as a result of routine monitoring by the authorities in the crowded area.
The MDTM authorities emphasized that the act of disposing of waste or sales waste into the drains is an offence under the Minor Traders (MDTM) By-Laws 1991, UUK 18.
MDTM will not hesitate to take more drastic action against any party that persists. These enforcement measures are to ensure that Tanah Merah remains clean, beautiful, and vibrant for everyone.
