Site Picture Driving from cities into the district of hulu langat, there is a rise in greenery and a narrower route. There is just one way in and one way out, so we had to drive carefully and take in the stores and scenery along the way. It gave us a nostalgic feeling, as if we were transported back to our hometown. With a little sunshine, we could see the mist in the early morning. We could hear the river rushing by, surrounded by dense forest.

Site Three

SELECTED SITE
Site Description
Sungai langat has been severely contaminated, particularly in light of recent occurrences. People do not appreciate it and treat it as if it were a drain. As a result, choosing a location along the river can help attract people back to the river and raise public awareness about environmental protection.
BEFORE
According to our observations and experiences during the site visit, inhabitants in Hulu langat are pected. Residents are fearful as a result of the property loss and huge destruction, as everything they own has vanished. Some people may have developed trauma as a result of their desire to protect their child and themselves in dangerous situations, such as hiding in the ceiling or on the roof tops. Due to future possibilities, the occurrence may have caused a decline in land value.
AFTER
We picture regulating the water level as a hope and reaction to the situation. Allowing for safe river activity as well as safe riverside settlements. Bringing the river back to its former glory of indulgence and love.
