He said that MPSJ often received complaints related to groups of foreigners who gather at playgrounds causing parents to be concerned about letting their children play in these areas.
“The issue of foreigners engaged in the activity of collecting recyclable materials using tricycles was also brought to attention when various problems arose like the cleanliness of the environment and traffic congestion when these groups of foreigners pass through main roads around Puchong,” he said.
