The definitive cause of the phenomenon involving Sungai Perak’s water turning blue has yet to be determined, and there is no evidence to confirm any direct link to mining activities.

Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad said that last Friday, state secretary Ahmad Suaidi Abdul Rahim led a state government delegation to meet with the secretary-general of the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry.

Incident occurred after heavy rainfall, Saarani says.
