More details are required on the Penang state government’s sale of 8.1ha of land near one of the most polluted rivers in the country, the 8km-long Sungai Juru.
The land was sold to Juru Auto-City, which will now have to rehabilitate the river.
Under the arrangement with the state government (reported in the Sunday Star on 13 June), Juru Auto-City would revive the river and its banks for activities such as fishing, boating and the breeding of prawns and crabs.
Are they going to throw some mud balls in and hope for the best? See here and here too.

What I would like to know are the terms of the deal with Juru Auto-City.

What I would like to know are the terms of the deal with Juru Auto-City.
- How much did they pay the state government for the land? Was it sold at market value?
- What exactly is expected of Juru Auto-City in return?
- Will the public be allowed free access to the river and its banks after it has been cleaned up?
- Why isn’t the DID/JPS handling the clean up of the river? Isn’t that its role?
- How exactly is Juru Auto-City going to clean up the river?
- How is Juru Auto-City going to tackle the sources of pollution of the river?
