THE Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) will not approve new applications for swiftlet breeding in commercial and residential areas until the Selangor government’s guidelines are drawn out, council president Datuk Hassan Nawawi Abdul Rahman said.

Councillor S.T. Chandramohan added that no action would be taken against existing swiftlet breeders.“However, under the council’s Street, Drainage and Building Act, breeding of animals is not allowed in commercial and residential areas.

“Under the same Act, swiftlet breeders in commercial and residential areas are also at fault for the misuse of premises,” Chandramohan said.
