Littering without a thought


The scene at Pantai Bersih shoreline in Butterworth, contrary to its name, and discarded bottles (pictured right) are trapped among rocks there.

WHEN news spread about people littering along Penang’s newly opened highest elevated road, I was not surprised.

Maybe it is because Penang is a small state so there are not that many public hangout spots, as such the scenic Bukit Kukus paired road has become a major attraction.
