 | | A spokesman from City Hall’s drainage and irrigation department said eliminating fish species was not under its jurisdiction as its main job was to ensure rivers and tributaries as well as their banks were free of rubbish and sediments. |
 | | While there seem to be no proper studies done on the fish population in Sungai Klang and Sungai Gombak, the Petaling Jaya-based Global Environment Centre (GEC) has studied the fish in the lakes in the Kelana Jaya recreational park and Taman Aman in Petaling Jaya. |
 | | GEC programme officer Dr Kalithasan Kailasam said a study conducted with the Malaysian Anglers Association in March 2002 found that 95% of the fish in the Kelana Jaya lake was non-indigenous, including the sucker fish (ikan bandaraya), flower horn, tilapia, blue catfish and guppy. |
