Outrage over Ulu Muda logging plan


GEORGE TOWN: Up to 15% of the Ulu Muda water catchment area would be destroyed by the proposed move by the Kedah government to log 25,000ha of the rainforest, says Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa.

He said the destruction of rainforest on such a scale threatened water supply security in Perlis, Kedah and Penang, especially during the annual dry seasons.
