The state government will place log booms at 12 pollution hotspots to trap rubbish along Sungai Skudai, says Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
He said the move was part of the efforts to ensure that the target of making Sungai Skudai clean could be achieved in September this year.
"We will continue to carry out the river cleaning programme, including installing log booms and implementing daily maintenance. It is a huge task, but I believe that if all parties work together, our rivers can be cleaned, starting with Sungai Skudai.
"We target the cleaning work in Sungai Skudai to be carried out until September... we will be able to clean it to reduce the level of filth," he told reporters after officiating the Johor Bersih@Sungai programme at Sungai Skudai here today.
