Singaporean sweeps Kuala Lumpur road after Malaysia littering conviction

Mohamed Nuh Qurasaini Kayat, 25, performed the community clean-up work in the heart of Malaysia’s capital, near the famous Dataran Merdeka, along with three others.

He told reporters that he was in Kuala Lumpur to catch the new year celebrations and fireworks and was not aware of the implementation of Malaysia’s stricter anti-littering law that took effect on January 1 this year.

“For those visiting Kuala Lumpur, follow the rules. That’s all I want to remind you, so you don’t end up in my situation,” he said during a break from his four-hour community service sentence.

The four men were among the first batch of littering offenders to conduct their community work.

Wearing vests labelled “Community Service Order”, they were required to sweep and collect litter from the road. All of them were masked.
