GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation today urged the authorities to check the length of Sungai Muda in Kedah for illegal dumpsites following the discovery of one such site over the weekend.
“It is shocking to read about the illegal dumping of electronic and chemical waste upstream from Penang’s primary raw water intake in Lahar Tiang,” he said. “The local authorities must make sure they don’t encroach the buffer. Better yet, law enforcers ought to patrol the river and riverbank areas 24/7, to deter illegal activities.”
