Sipitang folks fuming over murky water, blame logging
Murky river water at Kg Samin allegedly from logging activities upstream.

Yet residents still use it to clean, in addition for drinking.

“In these two weeks, the residents of Kampung Samin and Kampung Ulau and the surrounding areas had to drink, bathe and wash cloth as if it were Milo water flowing from the catchment area,” she said.
