Malaysia - a Third World nation with First World facilities?

COMMENT We are a nation turning 60 years old in just one year’s time, yet our handling of illegal dumping has not improved.

Forget about becoming a developed nation by 2020, we are still a third world nation with first world facilities.

Selangor may have saved a lot of money when it took back waste management from Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, but it is still inheriting most of the contractors who fail to deliver their quality service - unlike in a certain neighbouring country.

For example, illegal dumps are still appearing in all over the country with no one to clean them up. In some places, it is the foreigners who are throwing rubbish indiscriminately because to them, this is not their home and they cannot care less.
