LUMUT, Aug 13 — As part of its efforts to reduce waste, Manjung Municipal Council has converted tree trunks, tires, oil barrels, and plastics into decorations to beautify the municipality.
To date, the decorations had been put up at Pangkor, Seri Manjung and the latest at Dataran Beruas.
According to the council, the idea to decorate the municipality using recyclables came from its Landscape Unit personnel.
“Besides beautifying the area, it is hoped that the decorations can be used as the community's recreational place,” the council said.
Besides replicas of motorcycles, a sitting area converted from tree trunks were also made.

Speaking to Sin Chew Daily, council president Syamsul Hazeman Md Salleh said besides beautifying the area, the new decorations can also be a tourist spot.
“It can be a spot to take selfies too,” he said.
He added that when the council started with the first project in Pangkor, it won rave reviews from the people.
“It spurred the Landscape Unit on and we decided to put up the decorations at more areas in the municipality.”
