Members who have supported the Committee Report and all those who have spoken without mentioning each of them by name. I just want to say that it is not right to be overenthusiastic in responding to a problem. There are genuine scrap metal dealers and there are vandals. Of course, vandalism cannot be tolerated but there are genuine scrap metal dealers. Therefore, by the regulatory-marking authority coming up with those rules out of time and not involving the genuine scrap metal dealers in public participation, the Ministry made a mistake. As earlier articulated by my colleagues, it is important that in anything that Ministries do, they always involve the people. Somebody once said you cannot respond to a mosquito bite with a hammer. That is typical of what happened in these regulations."}
