PORT KLANG – The putrid stench of faecal matter permeates the workers’ dining area of a rubber glove factory sitting next to the meandering bank of Sg Klang.

The smell is odd – out of place, even – as the dining area, located at the back of the factory, is clean, albeit a tad watery. The adjacent toilets are also somewhat sanitary.

“It (the smell) gets worse when it rains,” murmured one of the workers when reporters noted the nauseating odour, while enforcement officers searched the factory for signs of non-compliance with the rules.
