JOHOR BARU: A green lung near Johor Baru, with a lake in the centre, has now become a major dumping ground not just for construction materials but also hazardous waste.
The fumes from the burning chemicals at a nearby illegal dumpsite – which ignite and start smouldering and emitting a pungent smell, especially at night – has been a problem for more than six years for about 5,000 residents living in Taman Bukit Kempas.
