To be fair, that trash is probably accumulated at sea from neighboring countries. I cant comment much on SEA's cleanliness, maybe check out the foreigners/expats views on these countries. Or go and check them yourself. Have a short trip to any of those popular destinations.
I did have a rather long stay in Bali in 2021, when it was at its cleanest. Even the most pristine beaches, you'd get the occasional chocolate bar packaging floating next to you, ruining the experience.
:) there are good beaches in malaysia (not kl). don't worry about it. langkawi as an island might be good for a digital nomad even (its duty free so liquor is cheap)
Wait, which "pristine" beach are you talking about? In the article? That's actually like a river/sewer near water village squatters and wet market, not a public beach.

But this isn't downtown London - rather a pristine beach.
And, London is nothing to strive towards in terms of cleanness - lol.
