What a load of rubbish

Unsightly piles: Rubbish dumped outside the waste incinerator on Tioman Island, which has yet to start operating.

After a delay of over three years, the waste incinerator in Tioman Island is finally built; but it remains unopened, leading to smelly trash being strewn all over.

Whenever Supardi Mastra opens his kitchen window, a mass of flies invades the space. It is inevitable – his house in Kampung Air Hantu of Tioman Island opens up to a view of garbage spilling over a hilltop.
