Gabriel was featured in last week's Borneo Bulletin, when he was interviewed during the Beach Bunch's boat cruise tour in celebration of the World Water Day.
Unfortunately some of his words might have been taken out of context, especially the last sentence (the sentence also does not make sense - pull trash out of UBD?).
From the article:
According to Gabriel Yong, Brunei River has on the down valley, a tidal inlet, where the water flows in
hence creating a depositional environment, where sediments get stuck and deposited in the area. Therefore,
it must always be taken care of.
He said that a lot of areas may be affected, especially in Kg Ayer, where the sediments get stuck under the
water. This explains why there is a lot of trash gathered under Kg Ayer water. The pollution is not to be
blamed solely on the residents of Kg Ayer alone, things always get stuck there, and all they can do is to
manage the waste and pull it out if it got trapped, he added.
In fact, the Beach Bunch are planning to introduce some types of automated system in UBD, where, when
trash comes in, it will be pulled out, Gabriel Yong said.
