RESIDENTS in Semenyih, Selangor, are getting exasperated with a rat infestation, which they blamed on drains clogged with trash, Makkal Osai reported.
Besides the rats, there were also mosquitoes and an unbearable stench.
The residents, already dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, are concerned about other pest-borne diseases, the report said.
> Florists in Seremban are relieved that they are allowed to resume business during the lockdown, Makkal Osai reported.
Some at the Seremban market were confused by an earlier decision to allow only flower shops near temples.
They questioned the decision as temples are shut and people buying flowers at this time were using them at home for prayers.
