JOHOR BARU: Some 300 tonnes of garbage, mostly plastic containers and plastic bags, were collected from Sungai Skudai and Sungai Tebrau last year, says Johor health and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon.

He said that this amount was significant given that it came from just two rivers in the Johor Baru area.
