PETALING JAYA: The National Water Services Commission has proposed that a river basin authority be set up to oversee the management of rivers providing water to two or three states. Its chairman Charles Santiago said for example, Sungai Muda in Kedah provided water to Kedah, Penang and Perlis. 'We are relying on a successful model already used in Australia. This is our suggestion and we have forwarded this proposal to the (Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change) minister. 'This is because a river authority has an implication on the ecosystem, for example, Muda, which is influenced by timber and forests.

(Jakarta, Indonesia) — Wading through the dense traffic of Jakarta, amid the towering skyscrapers, pristine tropical gardens and green-painted bicycle lanes, one can spot many billboards featuring Joko Widodo, the Indonesian president who's led the country since 2014.
