LETTER | The river that provides water to the Kuala Terla water treatment plant is Sungai Terla.
| Pahang state secretary Sallehuddin Ishak had failed to understand the real cause of water pollution in Cameron Highlands as evidenced by the accusations he made towards farmers at Sungai Ichat.
Sallehuddin Ishak accused that the farms are located at the intake of the Sungai Ichat dam from which 70 percent of its water is channelled to residents in Cameron Highlands. We cannot deny that Sungai Ichat is badly polluted. Nevertheless, I have to remind Sallehuddin that the state Government should first tackle the cause of Sungai Terla’s pollution and not Sungai Ichat.
It is shown that the Sungai Terla water catchment area is affected by land development activities for residential and farming purposes. It is, therefore, affecting the balance of nature particularly the source of water at Sungai Terla. Meanwhile, other areas of water sources did not encounter any form of land development, and thus the balance of nature very much remains intact and is protected.
