JUST across the Sungai Kelang, via a 20-minute speedboat ride from the Port Klang jetty, sits a cluster of floating houses perched on wooden stilts.

As quaint and picturesque as it may be, we were soon greeted by whiffs of salty sea air plus a mild stench of sewerage emanating from beneath the murky waters.
