Currently, there has been numerous effort
initiated by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government
to promote recycling. Among them is the building of public
collection centre and the erection of billboards to remind
the public of items that can be recycled. In this programme,
we are targeting the participation of Government Departments
and Government Linked Companies (GLC) in the whole of
Malaysia.
Through this programme, the Government Departments are
able to lead by example in support of the initiatives
by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. Participating
in the programme will also help to boost the image of
our government organization. It will portray that our
government is very environment conscious and is leading
the effort to conserve the environment.
Collection centre will be set at the various
Departments and the recycle item will be collected in
a scheduled basis. Every time a person recycle, he or
she will be asked of their MyKad number. MyKad number
is unique and it will be used to identify the recycler.
Whenever the recycler send in the item, points will also
be given to them for accumulation.
Monthly rewards such as small electronic
items, shopping vouchers, or mobile phones will be given
to the person with the highest recycle point for the month.
A grand prize in the form of plasma TV or home entertainment
system will be given to the person with highest total
accumulated recycle point. This is to encourage more participation
from the government servants.
