NOBODY talks about garbage until they smell the stink. Malaysia has to act soon or face major problems in the future, when we all will be throwing up because of the smell.

I wrote two years ago about the use of waste-to-energy (WTE) plants, at a time when the government was deciding whether to go with them or not (“Time to look at incineration”, The Star, Sept 29, 2017; online at bit.ly/star_waste). We cannot wait too long.
