FOR years, residents thought that they only had to contend with the stink of pig farms. In land-starved Penang, many homeowners had little choice but to acquire landed properties just a few hundred metres from pig farms in Nibong Tebal, south Seberang Prai.

The worst affected are the beautifully furnished homes in the gated-and-guarded community, located a mere 150m from a cluster of pig farms. It was reported in 2015 that the pollution stems from the farm wash-off from about 40 pig and poultry farms.
