    abstract = {Waste issues in Malaysia are similar to those faced by many 
  rapidly developing countries in the region. There were a number of problems 
  which many local authorities encounter when trying to implement an efficient 
  MSWM System. These problems were related to the lack of national policies, insufficient 
  assistance from the state governments, lack of basic law, weak organisational 
  structures, no consideration given to MSW problems while approving plans, inadequate 
  or no coverage of under serviced areas, insufficient finances, shortage of manpower, 
  little or no training opportunities for MSWM personnel, insufficient research 
  activities not enough enforcement personnel and little not enough final disposal 
  areas use of inappropriate technologies, no proper management of equipment and 
  no proper co-ordination among MSWM related agencies. The purpose of this study 
  is to determine the recommendation to appraise regulations or guidelines as 
  mandatory, develop solid waste management plans for municipalities, encourage 
  public communities and municipalities to increase recycling programmes and decrease 
  the amount of waste to be brought to disposal site.}
