In response to queries from CNA on procedures for foreigners who were nabbed, Johor SWCorp said that any individual – including Singaporeans and other foreign nationals – who are issued offence notices for littering will be given a court appointment date before they are sentenced.
“It should be noted that the fact that offenders are not barred from leaving or entering Malaysia at the initial stage does not mean that the case has been closed. Offenders will receive an official notice to appear in court to face charges in accordance with established legal procedures,” it added.
CNA has reached out to SWCorp to check if the same rules apply to foreigners in other parts of Malaysia.
