s 43Dangerous places to be repaired or enclosed

(1)

If, in the opinion of the local authority, any tank, well, hole or other place is, due to want of sufficient repair, protection or enclosure or any other cause, dangerous to the public, it shall give notice in writing to the owner thereof to repair, protect or enclose the same forthwith so as to prevent danger therefrom.

(2)

Any owner who fails without reasonable cause to comply with such notice shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit, and the local authority may itself repair, protect or enclose the same.

(3)

All costs and expenses arising therefrom shall be paid to the local authority by the owner of the tank, well, hole or other place.
