KOTA KINABALU: Fed up with their home being constantly labelled a dirty island, villagers at Pulau Mabul put their heads and hands together to carry out a major cleanup in which they collected over 20,000kg of waste.

The effort involved over 1,000 residents on the island, located off Sabah’s east coast Semporna district, who collected the rubbish in three exercises between March and July.
