The City of Kuala Tungkal is small and still undeveloped. The ground in that area is very flat and low. This creates a condition that makes drainage difficult. Due to this situation there is a large amount of standing water around homes and businesses, which creates a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Some other things about the city:
It has a large fishing industry that supplies other areas with fresh fish, shrimp, and other sea foods.
There is a lot of boat transportation that takes place, as people and cargo are ferried between outlying islands.
The city is relatively without street lights. It is a very dark city after the sun goes down.
There are few cars.
There are many motorcycles, bicycles, and becaks (3-wheel pedal taxis).
There is a significant drinking water problem. With the land being mostly swamp, the ground water is black. The people are dependent on rain water for their drinking water source.
