Residents want the authorities to remove this abandoned taxi at Stulang Laut Flats.

AN abandoned taxi and motorcycle at Stulang Laut Flats in Johor Baru have become not only an eyesore for residents there, but also a nest for rats and cockroaches.A resident who wished to be identified only as Chua, 61, said the abandoned vehicles were located next to Block 1 of the flats.

“We can hear the rats making loud noises at night when they come out to look for food at a dumpster nearby and around the block as some of the residents leave leftover food for stray cats.
