GEORGE TOWN, Oct 30 — All pig farms in Kampung Selamat, Tasek Gelugor, have been sending livestock waste to a biogas plant in Ampang Jajar since May 4 to control pollution and odour problems in Sungai Kereh, the state assembly heard.
State Local Government, Town and Country Planning Committee chairman H’ng Mooi Lye said the move aims to control livestock waste discharge into the environment, particularly drains flowing into Sungai Kereh.
The Penang Veterinary Services Department (JPVPP) is also applying Useful Microbes Activated Solution (UMAS) weekly into public drains in Kampung Selamat, he added.
“These mitigation measures help control pollution and reduce odour in the area. JPVPP is also inspecting pig farms and taking enforcement action to ensure breeders comply with livestock waste management requirements,” he said at the Penang State Legislative Assembly sitting here today.
H’ng (PH-Jawi) was responding to Bukhori Ghazali (PN-Pinang Tunggal) on state government measures to address odour pollution in Sungai Kereh.
He said JPVPP will continue monitoring waste deliveries to the biogas plant, carry out weekly UMAS applications and step up enforcement against non-compliant breeders.
Under Regulation 25(2) of the Pig Farming Licensing Regulations (Penang) 2020, licence holders must keep ammonia gas concentration inside enclosed pens below 20 parts per million (ppm) and hydrogen sulphide below five ppm, he said.
He said gas meter readings inside the enclosed pens remained within permitted limits.
H’ng clarified that the readings refer only to gas concentration inside the pens and do not directly represent the water quality index or odour levels in Sungai Kereh.
He said the state government also plans to clean up Parit Cina and Sungai Kereh from the first quarter of 2027 to remove accumulated sediment, improve water flow and reduce pollution. — Bernama

乔治市，10 月 30 日讯——据州议会获悉，自 5 月 4 日起，位于 Tasek Gelugor 的 Kampung Selamat 的所有养猪场一直将牲畜粪便送往 Ampang Jajar 的一家沼气厂，以控制 Sungai Kereh 的污染和气味问题。
州地方政府、城乡规划委员会主席洪美来表示，此举旨在控制牲畜粪便排放到环境中，特别是流入克雷河的排水沟。
他还补充说，槟城兽医服务局 (JPVPP) 也每周在甘榜斯拉末的公共排水沟中施用有益微生物活性溶液 (UMAS)。
“这些缓解措施有助于控制污染，减少该地区的异味。槟城州养猪和畜牧业发展局（JPVPP）也在检查养猪场，并采取执法行动，以确保养殖户遵守牲畜粪便管理要求。”他今天在槟城州立法议会会议上说。
H'ng（PH-爪夷）回应了 Bukhori Ghazali（PN-槟榔东嘎）关于州政府解决双溪克雷气味污染的措施。
他表示，JPVPP将继续监测向沼气厂运送的废物，每周进行UMAS申请，并加大对不合规养殖户的执法力度。
他说，根据《2020 年槟城养猪执照条例》第 25(2) 条规定，持证人必须将封闭猪圈内的氨气浓度保持在百万分之二十 (ppm) 以下，硫化氢浓度保持在百万分之五 (ppm) 以下。
他说，封闭围栏内的燃气表读数始终在允许的范围内。
H'ng澄清说，这些读数仅指围栏内的气体浓度，并不直接代表Sungai Kereh的水质指数或气味水平。
他表示，州政府还计划从2027年第一季度开始清理巴里芝那河（Parit Cina）和克雷河（Sungai Kereh），以清除淤积的泥沙，改善水流并减少污染。——马新社
