Issue related to E-WASE is becoming increased
00:02
with digital tools and tools.
00:09
Based on record of 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2025,
00:18
the number of E-WASE that has been processed
00:21
by the premise that was released in the U.S.
00:27
is about 536,709.04 metric ton in the country.
00:40
In this case, if E-WASE is not done well,
00:47
it can be done with its own way.
00:49
It can be provided implications for the health
00:53
because it can be done well because it can be done well.
00:58
In this case, the Alam We have done various initiatives.
01:05
First, it can be done well with the E-WASE.
01:10
Sehingga kini, negara telah mempunyai sebanyak 128 buah
01:17
facility kemudahan pemerolehan kembali.
01:22
Yang kedua, memperkasakan kempen kesedaran awam
01:26
bagi menggalakkan pelupusan peralatan elektrik terpakai
01:31
secara selamat.
01:33
Dan yang ketiga, meningkatkan penguasaan terhadap
01:37
pengurusan E-WASE tidak berlesen melalui dua Ops Hazard
01:43
yang telah dijalankan dengan sebanyak 351 tindakan undang-undang
01:49
telah diambil terhadap pelbagai pelanggaran perundangan
01:53
di bawah Akta Kualiti Alam Keling 1974.
01:58
Berdasarkan E-WASE yang dijana di Malaysia dan kita dapat
02:04
berarti 128 facility ini berupaya memproses E-WASE yang dijana
02:11
di dalam negara.
02:12
Tapi mungkin isu yang sebelum ini, kalau Tuan-Tuan Puan sedia maklum,
02:19
isu E-WASE yang masuk secara haram.
02:23
Itu nanti kalau ini kita akan bincang kemudian.
02:26
Dan selepas dia masuk secara haram di pelabuhan,
02:30
diproses pula di kilang-kilang haram.
02:32
Dan di kilang-kilang haram pula pekerja-pekerjanya juga adalah
02:38
pendatang-pendatang haram.
02:41
Memang saya dah cakap lama dah ini.
02:43
Men power kita memang tak cukup.
02:45
Sekarang ni pegawai kita yang ada 1113 orang.
02:51
Seluruh Malaysia.
02:53
Dan kita nak pantau macam-macam benda lah.
02:55
Yang E-WASE ni salah satu perkara yang kita
03:01
pantau dan menjalankan pengakuasaan lah.
03:05
Kita memang telah memukakan permohonan untuk
03:08
pengukuhan dan juga penambahan
03:12
perjawatan di jawatan sekitar.
03:14
Kita mahu sehingga tambahan sehingga 3,000 orang.
03:21
Based on pollution sources yang ada,
03:26
beban kerja yang ada,
03:28
kita dah buat calculation, pengiraan.
03:32
Untuk cover semua kerja,
03:34
kita perlukan tambahan sehingga 3,000 orang.
03:37
By right, setiap industri kalau ikutkan,
03:41
kalau ikut hasrat kita,
03:43
satu kilang, kita nak setahun
03:45
paling kurang dua kali pergi.
03:49
Kita tak mampu.
03:50
Sekali pun tak boleh.
