The 1st
proposed garbage incinerator in Malaysia
In
November 2002, the federal government of Malaysia announced to
locate the 1st Garbage Incinerator from Kampung Bohol, Puchong
to Broga, which is about 40km southeast away from its capital
Kuala Lumpur, because it is lightly populated.
The proposed
project with a capacity of 1500 tonnes per day is estimated to
cost RM 1.5 billion for its construction & RM200 million
for yearly operating cost.
