Cigarette butts the most common litter found on a Melaka beach, says official

MELAKA: Cigarette butts were the most common form of litter found along the Pantai Puteri recreational beach at Tanjung Kling here, says a Southern Waste Management (Environment) official.

"A total of 1,226 cigarette butts were collected on that day. It has not only become an eyesore but also raised concern over its detrimental impact on the environment," said SWM Environment's corporate general manager Mohd Norlisam Mohd Nordin.
