Funding needed to support cleanup activities was provided by Scientex Berhad. The residents of Pulau Ketam themselves came out in droves to participate in the cleanup together with volunteers and hired workers.

Waste that could be recycled were sorted, cleaned and sent to a Recycling Centre on the island. Non-recyclable waste were transported out of Pulau Ketam to Port Klang by an appointed waste concessionaire to the Jeram Sanitary Landfill.

The Malaysian Nature Society will conduct ongoing education to maintain awareness on how to clean up and recycle on a consistent basis.

This year, MPMA has initiated beach cleanup activities in several locations across the country as part of The International Coastal Cleanup movement, a programme initiated by Ocean Conservancy, a non profit environmental advocacy group based in the United States.
