While we’ve gotten used to seeing how dirty our streets sometimes get as a result of irresponsible litterbugs, there are still those rare cases that are totally shocking.
A video recently went viral of a tourist location in Sandakan, Sabah completely trashed with heaps of rubbish strewn across the ground.
The 16-seconds clip that was shared on the We are Malaysians Facebook page shows hundreds of people, sitting, standing, and strolling around the area where there are literal trash on the ground.

Children can also be seen playing in the trash, which raises a lot of health concerns. Like, why are we teaching our children that it’s okay to be comfortable around rubbish, right?
Many in the comment section also criticized the view, appalled at how at ease everyone seems to be among the rubbish.
Guys, that looks disgusting, and it is very disappointing knowing that we, as a community have let that happen!
It’s okay to go jalan-jalan and spend quality time with your loved ones, but please remember to take care of our environment. Keep your trash to yourself and dispose of it properly in a bin!
We’re better than this!
