I t was 2001 when my friend and I were on a hike up Gunung Ledang in Johor. After hours of footslogging, we reached the peak, only to find (to our disgust) stacks of trash. I felt sick to the stomach.
In my years of living abroad, I had never seen a trash heap on an outdoor trail or at a campsite. Talk about reverse culture shock.
