Miza owns a house in the middle of a heavily agricultural area in Kampung Permatang. She lives with her husband, Ahmad, and her mother-in-law, Pn Aminah. Living there, Miza has been surrounded by three different neighbors.

The first is Cheng Ho Farm, which breeds pigs for the pork industry around a nearby town, Bandar Chempaka. When the wind is blowing in the right direction, the smell from the pig farm makes it almost unbearable to be outside of her house. Although Miza has spoken to the owners of Cheng Ho Farm, there is little they can do in order to close the farm down.

The second is Gemilang Tree Farm, which grows softwood trees for the paper industry. It has been in business for nearly 30 years. Miza has recently built a garage on the south border of her property to house her vintage car collection. She noticed one day that a large crack has formed in the garage wall.
