Whilst we welcome JPS Penang State Director Haji Hanapi Mohamad Noor ’s statement
(The Starmetro 6 November 2009) that Sungai Juru water quality has improved and Sungai Juru is out of the polluted list under the Environment Quality Report 2008 prepared by the Department of Environment, we feel that there are still rooms for improvements for Sungai Juru.
Although plans to revive the rivers are on track, we continue to urge to relevant authorities to take heed of the issues and problems highlighted in the Memorandum submitted to the Penang State Government by Friends of Sungai Juru last year as well as recommendations for improving sungai juru by Dr Edlic Sathiamurthy. There is a need to vigilantly monitoring the water quality of the river from any possible source of water pollution and preserving the eco system of the entire Sungai Juru basin area to ensure that the objective of improving the water quality to Class II status can be achieved by year 2015. Is it still possible or rather would it be too high an expectation if our waterways and rivers can look like the waterways beside ?
