MNS: Road project to affect Sepang mangroves


A monitor lizard in the mangroves in Sepang.

A CLUSTER of mangroves that play a critical role in the ecosystem and Sepang district’s oldest historical buildings are to be destroyed to make way for a 6.1km four-lane highway project.

The project by Selangor Public Works Department (JKR) is said to not affect the existing road system. However, it looks like it will have a significant impact on the mangrove ecosystem.
