The Terengganu Forestry Department has taken swift action by temporarily halting logging activities in the area near Kenyir Lake, which is alleged to be the cause of water at Sungai Lasir Waterfall turning murky.

State Tourism, Culture and Information Technology Committee deputy chairperson Sulaiman Sulong said it was understood that logging activities in an area about four kilometres upstream of Sungai Lasir had been halted as soon as the pollution issue was reported in newspapers and social media.
