Leachate polluting river

Dirty discharge: Leachate discharge from the waste transfer station flowing into Sungai Batu which is just a stone's throw away from the plant.

OPPONENTS of the proposed incinerator in Kepong have questioned whether the authorities are capable of managing the high-tech facility once it is built.

They say their concern is not unfounded, especially after seeing black leachate contaminating Sungai Batu. They believe the leachate is from compacted waste at the Taman Beringin solid waste transfer station.
