Coastal waste growing health risk in S’kan

SANDAKAN: A local non-governmental organisation (NGO), Future Alam Borneo (FAB), recently launched one of its floating litter traps at Kg Berhala as part of its Sandakan Plastic Solutions Project while another unit awaits its official launch, FAB will document the types of rubbish being thrown into the sea. 

It is also studying the communal waste situation at Kg Sim Sim via independent laboratories, to better understand the impact of “invisible waste.”

According to FAB Chairman Anton Ngui, as an environmental effort supported by community partners, Yayasan Hasanah and Dutch NGO Clear Rivers, the year-long project will look at the problems in-depth and offer community-scale solutions.
