RIVER activists from various backgrounds came together at the confluence where Sungai Klang and Sungai Gombak merge to celebrate their contributions and achievements in keeping the rivers clean.

In an award ceremony held at the Masjid Jamek Lookout Point in Kuala Lumpur, representatives from local communities, educational institutions, corporate sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), individuals and media members were recognised and rewarded for their efforts to help educate, create awareness and preserve the rivers.
