Selangor is running out of landfill space, and the state’s solution is a large waste-to-energy incinerator proposed for Batu Arang. But thousands of residents who are living near schools, homes, and even old coal-mining tunnels there, say the risks are far too high. To help us make sense of what’s happening, we speak to Abdul Hanan Bin Abd Mokti and Pauline Puah, both spokespeople from Jaringan Rawang Tolak Incinerator, who have been at the forefront of this fight. They share how they've faced silence from the authorities on their concerns, what the project means for the community, and why they believe there must be a safer way forward.
