A scrap metal factory got slammed with a massive fine after judges discovered serious environmental crimes. The Kuala Selangor Sessions Court ordered the company to pay RM256,000 for breaking pollution laws. Judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohamed Redza handed down the punishment during court proceedings yesterday. The factory boss admitted guilt on six different charges related to environmental damage. Officials warned the company faces 39 months behind bars if they refuse to pay up.

Environmental officers found shocking evidence during their investigation at the metal processing plant. Workers discovered 126 pallets loaded with printed circuit boards scattered around the property. The facility operated one furnace and had four more under construction without proper permits. A chimney structure stood on the grounds but lacked any air pollution control equipment. The company director represented the firm during all court hearings.

Selangor Department of Environment director Wandi Yadzid Yaakob pushed for tough penalties to send a clear message. He told the court that companies must respect environmental laws and protect nature from harm. The prosecution argued for firm sentences to stop other businesses from similar violations. Wandi urged factory operators to act responsibly rather than chase profits at the environment's expense. He reminded industrial companies that breaking environmental rules leads to prosecution and serious consequences.
