The changing landscape along Sungai Klang
Advertisement
TO view the multi-fingered spread of the Klang Gates Dam, which supplies the water for the thirsty taps of Kuala Lumpur, one can ascend Bukit Tabur (500m), part of a quartz ridge that is the longest in the world at 22km in length.
The Klang Gates Dam supplies the water via two large pipes to the Bukit Nanas treatment plant. It is the first dam in the country (1958).
The spillover from the dam flows through a small kampung, but soon after it wends its way past housing estates, an industrial site, a row of aged and oil-blackened car workshop shacks (best not think what they do with inconvenient, accumulating used oil). – October 1, 2017.
