SUNGAI PETANI: When Ishak Awang Che Su allowed contractors to dispose their waste on his 1.8ha land in Kampung Kemumbung, all he wanted was to fill up the cavity in the former sand mine.

Unfortunately, the land, as large as two football fields, is now filled with various kinds of waste, ranging from piles of used clothing to vehicle auto parts, barrels of scheduled waste and chemicals, and an assortment of plastic waste ranging from sheets to pellets.
