Muddy waters make it tough for fishermen


MELAKA: Sungai Lereh has turned muddy again, possibly due to improper release of discharge from the Sungai Udang landfill, says Klebang assemblyman Datuk Lim Ban Hong.

It is believed that the pollution was due to the effluents discharged from water treatment ponds at Sungai Udang, he said, adding that the contamination had affected the livelihood of fishermen in the area.
