Sungai Kapar Kechil pollution caused by lorry dumping waste, says exco
The water at Sungai Kapar Kechil in Kapar, Klang, has turned dark blue after a lorry dumped waste into it, said the Selangor government. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Waste dumped into Sungai Kapar Kechil in Kapar, Klang, is believed to have caused the pollution which has turned the water dark blue. Jamaliah Jamaluddin, who heads the public health and environment committee, said checks by the state's water management authority (Luas) at the river mouth and upstream showed no source of water pollutants. 'Based on information by the complainant and an inspection carried out, we suspect the river was polluted by a lorry dumping waste into it,' she said in a statement, adding that it was a 'one-off' occurrence. She said Luas has since taken samples at the site as well as at the river mouth and upstream, which will be sent to the chemistry department for analysis. 'But we will be monitoring the site from time to time to ensure no recurrence,' she said. Jamaliah advised the people to be alert and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. 'We need everyone to play their part to ensure that Selangor's rivers and water sources remain clean, safe and sustainable,' she said.
