JOHOR BARU: The water quality of Sungai Kim Kim in Pasir Gudang here, which is said to be very polluted can still be saved and returned to Class One, says Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) president Prof Dr Ahmad Ismail.

He said it would, however, require the state government, through the relevant authorities, to take immediate action to prevent further pollution in the river.
