Selangor's Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, has called for proof of claims that pig waste is contaminating Sungai Bukit Lagong in Batu Caves. The assertion was made by an individual known as Pilotvvip, who shared a post alleging pig farming activities upstream were causing the contamination. The post also reported that residents complained to local authorities, but no action was taken.
Pilotvvip warned, "Do not bathe in Sungai Bukit Lagong; someone is raising pigs upstream, and pig waste is entering the river. It's as if the officials have been bribed!" However, the Selangor Chief Minister refuted the claims, stating that a review of drone imagery captured by the Municipal Police Department (MPS) found no evidence of pig farming.
Instead, the drone footage revealed two instances of cattle farming. Amirudin has requested the MPS to conduct a physical site visit to verify the situation. He urged Pilotvvip to provide any relevant evidence or information for further action.
