Coldplay to help Malaysia’s rivers


Keeping it clean: The trash interceptor currently being used in the Klang River to catch waste before it reaches the ocean.

KUALA LUMPUR: British band Coldplay has yet to perform in Malaysia but it is about to treat the country to something even greater – sponsoring a watercraft that removes plastic trash from rivers here.

The band has long been proponents of green initiatives and is now looking to stop garbage from reaching the ocean with the Interceptor 005, a machine built by Dutch non-profit organisation The Ocean Cleanup.
