RESIDENTS and motorists in Kampung Tasek Permai, Ampang Jaya, Selangor can expect an increase in traffic congestion in the area following a planned lane closure to facilitate pipe installation works for the Langat 2 water treatment plant and distribution system (LRAL2).
PETALING JAYA: On the first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, traffic in the Klang Valley appears to be smooth albeit with minor congestion at popular locations owing to roadblocks due to the ongoing movement control order.

IF KUALA Lumpur does not take immediate measures to conserve its butterfly population, it will most likely end up like Singapore which “lost” almost half of its butterflies.
“We will go down the same road if we do not take good mitigation measures (to conserve), ” said Associate Prof Dr Norela Sulaiman from the Biological and Biotechnology Department of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
The entomologist said Malaysia’s butterfly population was declining and if conservation efforts were not done soon, it would lose more species.
