Move to gazette Ulu Muda


The pristine Muda River in the forest reserve provides Penang with raw water but this resource is threatened by logging in the area.

NOW that Penang and Kedah governments are on the same side of the political fence, the Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, the greatest water catchment area of the northern region, might get more protection.

Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) will begin talks with Kedah again to gazette the whole of Ulu Muda as a water catchment area.
