Expose river polluters and get RM10,000 reward

KAJANG: Balakong assemblyman Eddie Ng (pic)  is offering a RM10,000 reward to those who can provide information on the culprits responsible for polluting the Semantan River.

He will also give RM500 to the first person to provide picture or video evidence of anyone polluting the river.

Funds for the reward will come out of his allocation and will be given out upon once the provided information is confirmed by relevant authorities.

"The shutdown of the water treatment plants has affected 430,000 households. I am very unhappy with the water disruptions in Selangor due to river pollution and stern action must be taken against the culprits," he said.

The Sg Langat and Cheras water treatment plants were shut down at 8.30pm and 10pm respectively Friday due to pollution suspected to be from the Semantan River in Pahang.

Both these plants receive raw water from the same river.

Several areas in Kuala Lumpur and parts of Petaling and Hulu Langat will be experiencing temporary water interruption due to the shutdown.

Relief water supply will be delivered by tankers to affected areas and critical premises, such as hospitals and dialysis centres.

Consumers can also SMS their addresses to 15300 to request for relief water supply.
