Fuziah had asked the Government whether Lamp had submitted its PDF plans to as the deadline within its temporary operating license (TOL) had expired.
The Government, however, could not disclose all the proposed locations of the waste facility as it was still studying the matter and it had not been finalised, said Ewon.
The PDF plan was one of the required regulations, to be issued within ten months, as stated in its temporary operating license (TOL), issued last September.
