Klang MP Charles Santiago, speaking on behalf of the farmers, said 61 farmers along Jalan Ipoh in Sungai Ichat are affected. As a result, some of the farmers had gone to Parliament to submit a memorandum to the Federal government, urging them to look into the matter.“They have been accused of polluting the nearby rivers, but many of these farmers have been living there for over 50 years. That was never the case in the past.
Along with several other MPs including Jelutong’s RSN Rayer and Padang Serai’s M. Karuppaiya, Santiago said they would meet up with Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Datuk Salahuddin Ayub later today to discuss the matter at length with him.
