New attractions at rejuvenated riverside

AFTER clearing over 75,000 tonnes of rubbish from Sungai Klang, those behind the Selangor Maritime Gateway project are now looking at desilting the river.

“We are looking at a desiltation programme to return the riverbed to its original condition.

“One of the main contributors to poor water quality is siltation from upstream and tributaries as well as chemical discharge and industrial effluents that have built up on the riverbed over decades,’’ said Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd (LLSB) managing director Syaiful Azmen Nordin.
