RESIDENTS in a gated community in Ambang Botanic 1, Klang, have been suffering from the stench and sight of hundreds of dead tilapia fish floating in a retention pond near their homes.

“There are dead fish rotting and a horrible stench permeates the area. Our residents have been facing this since April 4, after polluted water from the nearby commercial area drained into the retention pond,” said Ambang Botanic 1 Residents Association committee member Datuk V. Lingam.
