The heavy rain during the whole of yesterday has resulted in the water of Sungai Balok and the nearby beaches to turn reddish, believed to be due to bauxite pollution.

A boat operator next to Sungai Balok, Ibrahim Muhammad, 45, said he realised the river water had started to turn red this morning when he was about to repair his boat.
