Clean-up of Johor Straits to begin in September

JOHOR BARU: One of the biggest operations to clean up the heavily polluted Johor Straits will begin when construction of the proposed RM2.7 billion Lido Boulevard starts here in September.
The developer of the mega waterfront project, Central Malaysian Properties Sdn Bhd (CMP), has secured full environmental impact assessment (EIA) approvals to spearhead building works.

A hydrology study in 2002, commissioned by Gerbang Perdana, builder of the scrapped bridge to replace the Causeway, found Johor Straits to be heavily polluted with heavy metals, sewage and leachate.(ni mesti singapore punye keroje ni)

"We will put in place an emergency response plan and an environmental management plan to deal with any environmental issues.
"We've also set up a humanitarian and environmental fund to address any social and environmental issues arising from this development."
The fund will be administered by an independent board of trustees. Taken from NST

Matjem: Wonder why do CMP sdn bhd being paid in addition that they are the one who pollute the waterway? Why don't the Gerbang Perdana joint sekali?..yalah Gerbang Perdana(jambatan bengkok) ni kan ke yang buang all the scrap metal patutnya depa pun kenalah participate secara free of charge.
