Any authority empowered to make by-laws or regulations under this

Ordinance may by by-law or regulation, as the case may be, provide a penalty by way of a fine for the breach or contravention of any such by-law or regulation and such by-law or regulation may also impose different fines in case of successive or continuous breaches or contraventions, but no such penalty shall for any one offence exceed five hundred ringgit and in the case of a continuing offence no such penalty shall exceed a fine of fifty ringgit for every day during which such offence is continued.

Any by-law or regulation may further provide that, in addition to or in substitution for any such penalty, any expense incurred in consequence of any breach or contravention of such by-law or regulation, or in the execution of any work directed by any such by-law or regulation to be executed by any person and not executed by him, whether performed by the local authority, the Director or by some contractor together with a surcharge of not more than ten per centum of such expense shall be paid by the person committing such breach or failing to execute such work and may be recovered as if such sum were a civil debt.
