MELAKA: Livestock breeders and fishermen in Bukit Rambai here want the Melaka Environment Department (DOE) to conduct an in-depth investigation into the source of pollution that caused the waterway at Sungai Lereh to turn dark.

Cattle farmer Lim Kah Seng, 32, said it was impossible for the dung to flow into the river as his farm at Kampung Berlian was located 6km away from the riverbank.
