KUANTAN: While the town’s environment might be changing back from red to green following the bauxite moratorium, residents say the road to recovery still has a long way to go.

Taman Dato Abdul Rashid Salleh Rukun Tetangga chairman Muhamad Saidi Ali, 47, said the main issue faced by residents was the constant stream of bauxite transport lorries and the dust they kicked up.
