PULAU PANGKOR, Jan 2 The attitude of some food stall operators and tourists in throwing rubbish outside the rubbish bins provided by the Manjung Municipal Council (MPM) has caused the surrounding areas in Teluk Nipah here to be dotted with scattered garbage.
A resident, Asmadi Teh, 58, from Kampung Teluk Kechil said the scattering of garbage often occurs during weekends or school holidays because most of the traders and tourists dump rubbish from their moving vehicles.
The resort operator said the rubbish thrown would eventually be scattered by wild dogs, wild boars or even monkeys scavenging for food.
