GEORGE TOWN, November 9 — Penang collected 10,815 cubic metres of pig farm waste between May and September 2026, state executive councillor Jason H’ng Mooi Lye said.
Responding to Permatang Berangan assemblyman Mohd Sobri Saleh, H’ng said between 46 and 51 farms recorded monthly waste collections for processing at the Ampang Jajar biogas facility.
He clarified that farms without collection records were not necessarily non-compliant, as some had fewer than 50 pigs. Monthly waste collections ranged from 1,890 to 2,550 cubic metres.
During the five-month period. The Veterinary Services Department fined one farm in Tingkat Selamat 4. Its operator has reduced livestock numbers to approximately 50 pigs and is expected to vacate the premises.
