Nusa Bayu stench making residents ill

The retention pond where effluents are believed to be discharged flows into a river near Taman Nusa Bayu, causing residents to suffer from a bad odour that permeates their homes.

RESIDENTS of Taman Nusa Bayu in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, are crying foul over a persistent stench that has plagued them for the past five years.

Among those affected is IT engineer Khoo Jec Sen, 36, who warned that the issue could lead to an incident like the pollution of Sungai Kim Kim, Pasir Gudang, in 2019.

Khoo: The stench evolved from a chemical smell to that of sewage and rotting carcasses.
