Villagers take waste issue into their own hands


KOTA KINABALU: Tired of their home being constantly labelled a “dirty island”, the villagers of Pulau Mabul joined forces to undertake a major clean-up effort, clearing over 20,000kg of waste.

The initiative, spanning three clean-up exercises between March and July, involved over 1,000 residents on the island off Sabah’s eastern town of Semporna.
