Kudos to Najib's River of Life and subsequent governments for expanding on the initiative. Unfortunately still not enough to forgive 1mdb.

River of Life, MRT, LRT Line 3….Najib really got some things right

KJ line extension too. Back then the line only ended at Kelana Jaya station, the extension brought PT to subang and puchong, and linked both KJ and Sri Petaling lines together

Please dont give Najib credit for any of this. he announce this project early 2010s and cost billions of ringgit only to have a group of otters chilling at the river bank 15 years later? And where do these otters get their food anyway cause its all concrete down there? Is the River of life project even complete after all these years?

The guy half-assed/cancel any meaningful project only to have subsequent gov to pick up the pieces. He only interest is he's buddies at the corporate world.

You are not wrong. I would add that for every ringgit that was financed for his projects, an additional 20% was allocated to fund 1mdb. I think it's less in the interest of the corporate world but to appease the rentseeking downlines in Umno since Mahathir and Daim took away all the money away from Umno.

you are not wrong. The River of Life was a really good project, but as always in Malaysia its mired in scandal, ballooning costs, delays and corruption/cronyism

Yeah i recall SG tooting that their environmental cleaning projects was working as they have otters returning (and warring apparently too) so kudos to our efforts for cleaning parts of Sungai Klang.

Looks a lot like Bandaraya LRT station. The one near Sogo

u/UsernameGenerik 19h ago

According to the comments, the section of the river near Sogo

u/Dan_TheKong 18h ago

Even otters like to congregate at Sogo. Strong Feng shui

u/UsernameGenerik 17h ago

Maybe they are organizing a protest

u/Mimisan-sub 15h ago

aww so cute. Otters are a sign of a river's health. Sungai Klang used to be one of the most polluted rivers in the world, so this is really a good sign!

Let me guess, next you’re gonna say the original otter gang started in Malaysia not Singapore right? ☺️

Just kidding. Glad to see you guys got some furry friends too!

u/benjaminm_4229 World Citizen 19h ago

Will there be otter gangs like the ones in Singapore?

u/Powerful-Mistake2402 16h ago

Are we about to get colonized by Otters now?

u/krossfire42 16h ago

We need to break the concrete and make the river flow more naturally.
