Lakes need special care


Ulu Muda forest reserve.Pix by Gary Chen/The Star/10 May 2016.

I REFER to the front page report “Logging out a forest reserve” (The Star, May 16) on logging activities in the Ulu Muda Forest Reserve that are threatening the Ulu Muda, Pedu and Ahnin chain of lakes.

The issue must be viewed with the greatest concern especially when the lakes are described as the “lifeline” to the water needs of three states, Kedah, Perlis and Penang.
