Smelly alley turned into tourist hotspot

Uplifting: One of the murals here in Kluang that depicts the multicultural society in Malaysia.

KLUANG: The back alley sandwiched between Jalan Dato Kapten Ahmad and Jalan Dato Teow Siew Khor here used to be a rubbish-filled eyesore that many would try to avoid.

Shop owner Wong Ca Fu, 51, who grew up in his father’s shop near the street, said that drains along the alley were also always clogged, emitting a foul smell.
