Factories near rivers must go


OVER 1.2 million consumers in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur had to suffer an unnecessary water cut for days in early September because of pollution from an illegal factory. The state authorities later admitted that the factory had been operating without a licence since 2014.

A few days ago, the Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) warned about discoloration of raw water in Sungai Gong, which was where the earlier pollution had caused the widespread water supply cut.
