OVER 207 tonnes of rubbish were collected from Sungai Skudai in the first nine months of the year, says Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

He said 97 tonnes of rubbish were collected from Sungai Tebrau in the same period, prompting Johor government to allocate RM2.4mil from next year’s state budget for the Clean Rivers Programme.
