Pollution killing Tasik Chini

If there were any truth of the existence of a dragon in the once-mystical Tasik Chini, it would probably be lying dead at the bottomof the lake by now, choked by man’s folly and abuse. DEVID RAJAH and TEOH TEIK HOONG visited Tasik Chini recently, not to lookfor the dragon but to get to the root of the problem – pollution. 

UNIVERSITI Kebangsaan Malaysia's (UKM) recent scientific expedition to Tasik Chini, peninsular Malaysia's second-largest lake, brought back tons of information that sent warning signals on the state of the lake, which appears to have been treated as a “sewage pond” instead of a tourist destination.
