“While cleaning and maintaining orderliness of the Tanjung Aru Beach area is under the responsibility of DBKK, TAED is responsible for carrying out cleaning and environmental order work at Tanjung Aru Beach 2 and Tanjung Aru Beach 3,” it said in a statement.
DBKK also refuted accusations that a crony company had been appointed for beach cleaning works which has caused it to become unmanageable.
“DBKK has appointed a local company to assist in regulating the level of beach cleanliness in the Kota Kinabalu City area.
“The contract since August 1, 2022 is with satisfactory performance. The company is reported to always comply with the set cleaning schedule.
