Water disruption again during Chinese New Year


EXACTLY a year ago, the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant was contaminated by ammonia that caused a major disruption to almost 20,000 households in Selangor. It was also dubbed as a prelude to one of the worst water crises in the history of Selangor.

The culprit of the pollution was found but no one knows what happened later. The incident ended with pledges and commitments from the Government that they would take stern action against polluters and would come out with a holistic plan to deal with the water crisis.
