Sinagpore has disputed a recent Malaysian newspaper report which said the Causeway is a source of pollution in the Johor Straits. Singapore's High Commission to Malaysia has written to the newspaper editor on the matter.
Malaysia's New Straits Times quoted an expert on water quality as saying "the only way out now is to demolish the Causeway and release the water."
The expert claimed a report had found conclusive evidence that discharge from the Kranji sewage and Senoko plants had contributed to the deterioration of water quality in the Strait. But Singapore High Commission said this was not true.
The Murray-North report mentioned identified main pollution sources like Sungei Johor and Pasir Gudang. The report noted to improve water quality in the Straits, it was necessary to remove pollution in the form of untreated sewage and wastewater from industries and agriculture at source.
Singapore explained that on its side, the only source of pollution identified was treated effluent from two water reclamation plants. And Singapore is diverting this via a deep tunnel sewerage system, now under construction. I think that it is good that singaporeans know what is happening not just singapore but maybe singapore and other countries problems.Because in this way singaporeans can have an idea on what is happening in the future and will try to help.Like what is happening in this article.Although it is being solved but we, as singagaporeans can help by not polluting the enviroment.
