BUTTERWORTH: Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai (MPSP) mengeluarkan empat papan tanda yang mengatakan bahawa sesiapa membuang sampah di merata-rata tempat adalah lebih bodoh daripada beruk.

DISGUSTING PICNIC BEHAVIOUR.

14 April 2026. To the irresponsible people using the pictured unit on the said date, you're banned from Kamagi Riverside Retreat. Any attempt to enter this premise in the future will be considered trespassing.

This is our home. If you can't respect or refuse to respect our house rules, and if you like to toss around your filthy rubbish and filthy cigarette butts on the ground like an uncivilized and ignorant human being, then off to the adjacent exit gate, you are not welcome here. Get out!

Remarks:
For those wondering why this was not addressed on the spot: Our parents, out of courtesy, are not the type to confront guests directly. The family member who would have done so without hesitation was not present at the time. The disgusting mess was only discovered after returning home.

⚠️ No walk-in.
⚠️ No last minute booking.

Please book early so we know you are coming & can prepare in advance. Appreciate your understanding! Thanks.

Untuk pelawat2 yg datang sempena musim2 cuti panjang ni, tolong jangan buang2 sampah & jangan buang2 puntung rokok sana sini. Guna tong sampah & bekas puntung rokok yg telah disediakan. Sila jaga kebersihan.

Terima kasih kepada Pejabat Kesihatan Penampang (Jabatan Kesihatan Penampang) kerana datang memantau kawasan serta menitikberatkan penguatkuasaan terhadap kesalahan membuang puntung rokok merata-rata. Usaha ini amat dihargai.

Kami berharap pihak tuan dapat terus menjalankan pemeriksaan mengejut (spot check) dari semasa ke semasa, khususnya pada musim hujung minggu dan musim cuti, supaya sekiranya terdapat individu yang membuang sampah atau puntung rokok merata-rata, tindakan kompaun atau saman dapat dikenakan dengan tegas.

Tempat-tempat awam dan pusat pelancongan di Penampang juga wajar dikuatkuasakan dengan lebih tegas, sepertimana yang dilaksanakan di Bandar Donggongon atau Kota Kinabalu, di mana mana-mana pelawat yang didapati membuang sampah atau puntung rokok merata-rata boleh terus dikenakan saman tanpa kompromi.

Sejujurnya, kami sudah terlalu lama dan berulang kali mengingatkan pelawat supaya menjaga kebersihan, tidak membuang sampah merata-rata, dan tidak membuang puntung rokok ses**a hati. Namun begitu, masih terdapat segelintir individu yang degil dan tidak mematuhi peraturan, malah ada yang menunjukkan reaksi kurang baik atau marah apabila ditegur. Sedangkan mereka sedang berada di kawasan halaman milik orang lain.

Walaupun tong sampah dan bekas puntung rokok telah disediakan dengan mencukupi, serta notis-notis kebersihan dipaparkan dengan jelas, masih ada yang tidak mengendahkannya. Oleh itu, bagi menjaga kebersihan dan ketenteraman kawasan, kami terpaksa mengambil langkah melarang (ban) individu-individu sebegini daripada memasuki kawasan Kamagi Riverside Retreat pada masa hadapan.

Sekali lagi, terima kasih kepada Jabatan Kesihatan Penampang atas usaha dan tindakan yang diambil. Diharapkan pemantauan seperti ini dapat diteruskan dari semasa ke semasa demi memastikan kebersihan dan ketenteraman kawasan pelancongan sentiasa terpelihara.

Thank you to the Penampang Area Health Office (Penampang Health Department) for coming to monitor the area and for placing strong emphasis on firm action against the offence of littering cigarette butts indiscriminately. This effort is greatly appreciated.

We sincerely hope the department will continue to conduct regular spot checks, especially during weekends and holiday seasons, so that if individuals are found littering or discarding cigarette butts around the area, immediate compound fines or penalties can be issued accordingly.

Public places and tourism areas in Penampang should also be enforced firmly, similar to the practices in Donggongon Town or Kota Kinabalu, where visitors who litter or throw cigarette butts indiscriminately can be issued fines without hesitation.

Frankly, we have repeatedly reminded visitors over the years to maintain cleanliness, refrain from littering, and avoid throwing cigarette butts everywhere. Unfortunately, there are still individuals who remain stubborn and disregard the rules. Some even respond negatively or become upset when reminded, forgetting that they are standing within someone else’s property.

Although trash bins and cigarette butt disposal containers are sufficiently provided, and cleanliness notices are clearly displayed on the walls, some individuals still choose to ignore them. As a result, to maintain cleanliness and order in the area, we have no choice but to ban such individuals from entering Kamagi Riverside Retreat in the future.

Once again, thank you to the Penampang Health Department for your efforts and enforcement. We truly hope that such monitoring and spot checks will continue from time to time to ensure that cleanliness and proper conduct are maintained in tourism areas.

Notis Larangan Masuk Untuk Pelawat Yang Berkenaan

Kepada kumpulan pelawat yang datang dengan Perodua Bezza berwarna kelabu-ungu pada 01 Februari 2026 dan telah menggunakan unit chalet seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam gambar, dari kira-kira jam 5.00 petang hingga 10.00 malam.

Dengan ini dimaklumkan bahawa anda SECARA RASMI DILARANG daripada memasuki Kamagi Riverside Retreat, berkuatkuasa serta-merta.

Keputusan ini dibuat susulan keadaan chalet yang bersepah dengan puntung-puntung rokok selepas penggunaan anda, seperti yang terang-terang jelas ditunjukkan dalam gambar, dan tiada penjelasan lanjut diperlukan.

Kamagi Riverside Retreat ialah kawasan retreat & rekreasi alam semulajadi milik persendirian yang menitikberatkan kebersihan, sikap hormat terhadap ruang halaman rekreasi komuniti, serta tingkah laku beradab. Piawaian ini diwujudkan untuk menjaga alam sekitar, harta benda dan pengalaman semua pengunjung.

Tindakan anda jelas menunjukkan sikap tidak bertanggungjawab, tidak menghormati dan mengabaikan piawaian ini serta etika dan adab asas yang sepatutnya diamalkan di kawasan rekreasi alam semula jadi. Tingkah laku sedemikian adalah tidak boleh diterima dan tidak akan ditoleransi, tanpa mengira tempoh lawatan atau sebarang pembayaran yang telah dibuat.

Larangan ini adalah MUKTAMAD dan tidak boleh dirunding. Sebarang cubaan untuk memasuki premis ini pada masa hadapan akan dianggap sebagai tindakan menceroboh.

18 January 2026, Pondok Kamagi. YOU'RE BANNED.

Uncivilized and uneducated behavior reflects a lack of respect for this place and for others, and undermines the purpose of this nature retreat.

This is a privately owned retreat sanctuary, we work hard to protect and maintain the natural environment here.

Any visitor who has the audacity to believe that paying a small fee grants them the freedom or a so-called sense of entitlement to treat this place like a dumpsite will be immediately banned. Do not return.

We do not welcome PERANGAI PENGOTOR. IT'S A VERY DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR.

It's 2026. Be civilized. Re-educate yourself.
