Sir,

River Pollution

On behalf of Jalan Landasan residents,I would like to lodge a complaint about your company for creating pollution
problems.It has been two weeks since New Chemical Factory was built in our neighbourhood and it brings a lot of
environmental problems to us.

2. We were living harmoniously at Jalan Landasan before the New Chemical Factory was built.Many youngsters in our
neighbourhood often go to the stream which is a stone's throw away from our housing area to swim and fish.Some of our
residents rely on fishing as their side income and now they are suffering from economic hardship.

3. The problems started since the New Chemical Factory was built.The mud and silt from the construction area flowed
into the river when it was raining.This slowed down the swift of the river water and turn the river into muddy and shallower.

4. The New Chemical Factory released toxic into the stream and polluted it.The toxic killed the fish and other animals that
drinks the river water.This causes unbalancing to the ecosystem.As a result,we cannot fish and swim anymore in the
river.The decaying of the dead matter also emit a foul odour.

5. We greatly hope you can take severe actions on your irresponsible workers.The stream still can be saved if you can
cooperate with us and we hope this problem could be solved as soon as possible so that it does not affect tranquility and
harmony of our neighbourhood.We will have to complain to the authority if this problem persists.

Yours faithfully,
Sathya
