Stop quarrying, save waterfall area, plead Pantai Remis residents

[superadmin]

BERUAS: Quarrying activities in the Segari Melintang forest reserve in Pantai Remis have almost destroyed a popular tourist attraction, especially the waterfall area which used to be breathtaking at one time.

Calling for an immediate halt to quarrying there carried out by a state government-appointed contractor, residents and an environmental group said the Tanjung Batu Teluk Sera waterfall could be restored if the blasting is stopped immediately.

Friends of the Earth Activists Association (Kuasa) deputy chairman Ismady Radzuan said quarrying work was being conducted by a contractor appointed by state-owned MB Inc since July last year.

“If you see the current condition (of the waterfall), it might appear to be difficult to restore.
