Time for concrete action to keep rivers pollution-free

Sungai Tukang Batu is still polluted and exhibiting a sickly colour.

SOME months ago, Sungai Tukang Batu in Pasir Gudang, Johor was reported to be one of the dirtiest rivers in the country.

After the matter was highlighted in The Star, the state Environment Department (DOE) said the authorities had joined forces to clean up the river.
