Too much of a mountain to move

THE AMOUNT of rubbish collected by a mother and son in their house in Kampung Baru Pasir Pinji proved a mountain too high for a group of volunteers as they struggled to clear the rubbish amassed over many years.

Due to her advanced age and her son’s disability, the old lady who declined to be named couldn’t clear bottles, cans, old furniture, magazines, books, and even a wheelchair on their own.
