On January 1st, DBKL expressed disappointment in Malaysians for leaving Kuala Lumpur in a messy state following New Year's celebrations, referring to it as a manifestation of a “third-world mentality.”
Alam Flora took to TikTok to highlight the substantial cleanup effort required, revealing that a significant 3.06 tonnes of rubbish had accumulated in Kuala Lumpur.
The cleanup operation, executed by 128 Alam Flora workers, commenced at midnight and covered key areas such as KLCC, Bukit Bintang, and Dataran Merdeka.
In a video shared by Alam Flora, their dedicated staff was depicted using large bins to gather litter from streets and even within bushes.
The meticulous effort extended to sweeping roads to collect tiny remnants of confetti and small fragments of trash.
While the magnitude of the cleanup operation was commendable, it underscores the unfortunate reality that such extensive efforts were necessary due to irresponsible behaviour…

As Malaysians, it is crucial that we take responsibility for our environment and refrain from littering!
By raising awareness about the impact of littering, we can collectively work towards fostering a cleaner and more considerate community, relieving these hardworking individuals from the burden of cleaning up after us.
