Ugly habit leads to dirty works


A badly-polluted river tributary in Miri District caused by rubbish dumping by villagers.

MIRI: River pollution in Miri is so bad that the authorities may need to deploy workers to manually haul the household and industrial waste out of water to control the situation.

Officials from the Sarawak Rivers Board and Miri City Council said the move would be necessary so that the waste could be properly discarded on land, or they would end up in the South China Sea and on the coastal shores.
