Rubbish continues to be a persistent issue across Malaysia, with piles of rubbish often seen by the side of the road, particularly in residential areas.
Despite the implementation of multiple regulations, it appears that some locals are taking this matter lightly.

However, one man found himself caught red-handed by former Dusun Tua ADUN (Assemblyman), YB Tuan Edry Faizal Eddy Yusuf, as he parked his car and disposed of trash on the roadside.
Tuan Edry took to Twitter to share a short video clip capturing the moment when the man, dressed in a maroon t-shirt, nonchalantly threw a bag of trash on the side of the road after exiting his Perodua Myvi car.
To protect the individual's privacy, the face was intentionally blurred in the footage. Tuan Edry also announced on Twitter that he would reward RM50 to anyone who could provide accurate information about the person involved.
He emphasized that specific terms and conditions would apply to this reward. The Twitter post gained significant attention from online users, drawing numerous comments expressing disapproval of the man's actions.
Some commenters even mentioned the Kedah Menteri Besar, drawing a connection between this incident and the responsibilities of the state government. Others called for immediate action by the authorities to hold the litterer accountable.
Among the responses, one Twitter user made a lighthearted remark, jokingly suggesting they would provide the required information in exchange for a reward of RM1,000.
