Harapan Pada Sungai Klang

Pemandangan sampah-sarap yang hanyut di sungai Klang terutama bila air pasang sudah menjadi pekara biasa. Ada kalanya sampah terlalu banyak dan membentuk berpuluh-puluh rangakaian pulau yang hanyut berbatu jauhnya. Pasti setiap orang yang melalui jambatan ke Taman Alam Impian dan jambatan menuju ke Taman Seksyen 25 Shah Alam mudah melihatnya dan akan menggelengkan kepala. Mungkin suatu masa nanti generasi akan datang akan dapat melihat Sg. Klang yang cantik dan bersih sebagaimana sungai-sungai di serata seperti di Amerika, UK, Germany, Jepun, Singapura dan lainya yang telah di pulihara. Harapan saya semoga apa yang hendak di laksanakan oleh pihak kerajaan negeri Selangor ini tercapai, Insyallah.

Four Companies Selected To Rehabilitate Klang River

The Selangor government has selected four companies to carry out the Klang River rehabilitation and development project, which is part of the state's economic stimulus package, unveiled last year. Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said the three companies, TSS-Mako Engineering Sdn Bhd, GJA Engineering Sdn Bhd and YTL's Wessex Water I-Bhd Consortium were chosen from among 37 companies. He said the RM1 billion would be spent in development cost while another RM1.0 billion would be spent on cleaning and rehabilitating the river. The government has gazetted 50 metres from the river as a "river reserve" to prevent any new development or settlement along the 120 kilometre-long river. The initial stage of the project would take between two to three years to complete while the entire project will be developed in about 15 years.
