Besides suffering from the unbearable stench overnight, villagers have also found yellow powdery spots around their neighbourhood in Bukit Koman, Raub, where gold-mining activities using cyanide, a hazardous chemical, started three years ago.
The unusual yellow dots have further escalated the fears of Bukit Koman villagers, who have been suffering skin, eyes and respiratory illnesses for the past few years.
According to the latest blog posting by Bukit Koman anti-cyanide committee member Liew Kou Yoong, 76, the yellow powdery dots were also found on his car, at the house gate and on the ground around the house.
