To put an end to logging at Ulu Muda Forest, pay Kedah, Govt told

GEORGE TOWN: The Muda Dam water catchment area at the Ulu Muda Forest Reserve in neighbouring Kedah has shrunk by 87.3% – from 98,400ha in 1969 to just 12,484ha this year.

This has alarmed the Penang Water Supply Corporation because the dam provided 80% of the daily raw water needs for this state.
