GREASE washed from restaurant kitchens in Taman Desawan, Bandar Bukit Tinggi and Bandar Botanic, in Klang is being channelled into drains that flow into Sungai Aur, and Klang Municipal Council (MPK) is taking steps to curb such pollution.

MPK Health and Environment Department director Azmi Muji said the three commercial areas bordered Sungai Aur and it was a challenge to ensure all eateries instal grease traps to curb fats, grease and oil from getting into the drains that lead to the river.
