“The Kuala Langat area is home to many Malay residents, and to this day, problems linked to pig farming in the area have not been fully resolved since 2010. “His Royal Highness has personally experienced and witnessed firsthand the effects of odour pollution stemming from pig farming activities in the area. Sultan Sharafuddin rejected the proposal to use Kuala Langat as a temporary site, saying it would worsen pollution problems that have persisted for 16 years. Touching on the financial aspect, the Sultan referred to previous state initiatives to study modern pig farming techniques abroad. Sultan Sharafuddin asserted that economic development must not sacrifice the people’s well-being, environmental sustainability, or the harmony of Selangor’s multiracial society.
