Cocktail of pollutants in waterways


Officers from various government agencies raiding an illegal sand washing site at 5th Mile off Jalan Kelang Lama, Kuala Lumpur.

A WATER quality specialist, who has dedicated more than 10 years to studying rivers in Malaysia, says he will never plod through Kuala Lumpur’s highly polluted waterways.

“I will never wade in Kuala Lumpur’s rivers because the bacterial level is very high,’’ Dr Zaki Zainudin told StarMetro.
