MELAKA (Bernama): Sungai Melaka has become the talk of the town for its 'greener' and cleaner water during the movement control order (MCO) period.
A check by Bernama at several locations, including near the Stadthuys building and Jonker Road, showed that the river had not been this clean for a long time.
Oliveira said Sungai Melaka used to stink and had black-coloured water in the 80s and 90s, but the state government, especially during the time of former chief minister Tan Sri Mohd Ali Rustam, rehabilitated the river in a bid to turn it into the"Venice of the East". "Other workers and I used to remove a lot of garbage from Sungai Melaka, but during the MCO there is not so much rubbish. However, the public should not bathe or wash their feet with the river water because it is not as clean as swimming pool water," said Salim, who hails from Bachang.
