Thaipusam's uncollected smashed coconuts end up in landfills

Thousands of devotees breaking coconuts along the path of the silver chariot in Sentul.

ALAM Flora contractors tasked to clean up the city centre after Thaipusam had to deal with large quantities of broken coconuts mixed with rubbish.

Thousands of coconuts were smashed by devotees who followed the silver chariot from the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Jalan Tun HS Lee, Kuala Lumpur, last Saturday as it made its way to Batu Caves.
