AFTER more than seven decades of living without rubbish collection services, villagers of Kampung Orang Asli Simpang Arang in Gelang Patah, Johor, finally have a structured system in place.

Iskandar Puteri MP Liew Ching Tong said a pilot project had been introduced to ensure the Orang Asli community had consistent and proper access to waste management.
