Differences between Act 672 and Act 171

1. Scope of Application:

• Act 672 deals only with solid waste management and public cleansing at the federal level. It was created to make waste management the same across Peninsular Malaysia and Federal Territories, taking this job away from local councils and giving it to federal agencies like SWCorp.

• Act 171 is a general law that controls how local governments work. It covers a wide range of services, including waste management. Before Act 672, local councils used to handle waste management.

2. Authority and Control:

• Act 672 gives the federal government, through SWCorp, the power to manage waste and cleaning services in states that have agreed to follow this act. This ensures the same standards for managing waste everywhere.

• Act 171 allows local governments to manage public services, including waste collection, in states that do not follow Act 672. In these areas, local councils are still in charge of waste management.
