Former rubbish site now a thriving garden in Prai

Perai MPKK and Taman Perai Utama residents frequently collect garden waste to be used as natural compost for the community garden located in the village.

Turning a former rubbish dumpsite in Prai, Penang, into a pesticide-free, flourishing urban garden was no easy task for Perai Village Community Management Council (MPKKP) chairman S. Sri Sangar.

However, with funding from Think City and All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia (APPGM)-Sustainable Development Goals, the 0.2ha site belonging to Seberang Perai City Council was turned into a community garden.
