The Temerloh Municipal Council in collaboration with the Bandar Mentakab Rukun Tetangga Sector, will pay RM2 for each rat caught by the public in a drive to get rid of the pest.

Mentakab assemblyperson Chuah Boon Seong said the effort was taken to tackle the rat problem in Mentakab town and the surrounding housing areas.

“Members of the public can hand over the rats caught to the campaign organisers,” he told Bernama in Temerloh today.

The campaign which runs for a week, started yesterday.
