River pollution traced to pond in duck farm


A PIG farm in Seberang Prai was unfairly blamed for polluting two rivers when checks showed that the discharge came from a pond in a nearby duck farm, says a Penang exco member.

Agrotechnology committee chairman Fahmi Zainol said investigation by agencies found that the discharge flowed from the duck farm into Sungai Alor Merah and subsequently to Sungai Kulim.
