Dumpsite More Than Eyesore To Residents
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The back of a building at a commercial area in Simpang 508, Jalan Jerudong is fast becoming a dumping ground, leaving residents in the area worried over the possible health hazard that accompanies it.

They said it was not a case of uncollected garbage but irresponsible litterbugs who thought the area perfect as a dumping ground.

Nearby restaurants also complained about the foul smell as well as flies and vermin infesting the dumpsite.

A restaurant operator said the rubbish produced a large number of flies that were causing problems to his business.

Another tenant said the rubbish was attracting vermin and "something has got to be done as it is unhygienic to residents".

"It has been a dumping ground for a long time. Unless it is addressed quickly, it will become worse, eventually causing health hazard," he added.

Frequent diners in the area said the place may have been used as a dumpsite by litterbugs as they could not find a suitable place nearby to discard of rubbish.

"Perhaps a proper dumping ground should be set up so people in the area can throw away their garbage," they said.

"It is a mess. The whole place needs a clean up. There is too much uncollected rubbish." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
