Postcard-pretty beach now a residents’ nightmare


Pantai Esen

PANTAI Esen, a popular beach in Penang Island known for its breathtaking sunsets, has been polluted by thick black mud and a foul stench, reported Berita Harian.

Its white sands are coated with black sludge and its waters have turned murky, while the stench that started two months ago has worsened. It can be smelled 100m away from the beach.
