not for placing their things on the streets that causes obstruction, but for hampering street cleansing services provided by the Department. Since the current problems are related to shop operators obstructing street cleansing, therefore the prosecution actions are taken by the Cleansing Section of the Department. Other cases of street obstruction will require the Health Inspectors of the Department to take prosecution actions, and the relevant legislation is different and the fine is also higher. At present, the penalty for these cases is a maximum fine of $5,000 or imprisonment of 3 months, which is different from the penalties for obstruction to street cleansing.
