Less waste has led to improved water quality in Klang River amidst MCO

The temporary closure of industrial factories and businesses due to the Covid-19 movement has resulted in improved water quality in the Klang River.

The Selangor Maritime Gateway (SMG) has seen less waste removal from the river in the past three weeks.

The company is a subsidiary of Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd that takes care of cleaning and rehabilitation operations in the 56-kilometre stretch of the river.

Landasan Lumayan managing director Syaiful Azmen Nordin said SMG staff has been deployed every day to conduct cleaning operations and to oversee all seven of their installed log booms along the Klang River.
