The following text is for question 19 to 23
Forty miles east of Jakarta, Indonesia, Citarum River runs over186 miles from Wayang Mountain to the Java Sea. The island’s largest river supports more than 30 million residents who rely on the water source for agricultural, domestic, and personal use.
However, unregulated factory growth since the area’s rapid industrialization in the 1980s has choked the Citarum with both human and industrial waste. The river, now known as one of the most polluted in the world, is unrecognizable as part of the Parahyangan region, over 200 textile factories line the river banks. The dyes and chemicals used in the industrial process (lead, arsenic, and mercury amongst them )are churned into the water, changing its colour and lending the area an acrid dour. Plastic, Packaging and other detritus floats in the scummy water, rendering the river’s surface invisible beneath its carpet of junk.
The effect on the local ecosystem has been devastating, fish float dead on the surface of the water, and local fisherman have turned to entrepreneurial methods of survival, picking up plastic from the water for recycling.

Have you ever heard about a distinction bridge in Malaysia? Here is the bridge, Langkawi Sky Bridge is a 125 meters curved pedestrian cable- stayed bridge, located at the Peak of Gunung Mat Chinchang Mountain, on Pulau Langkawi, an island in the Langkawi archipelago in Kedai, Malaysia. Completed in 2004, this suspended bridge is located at the ‘end’ of a cable car ride which begins at the Oriental Village at the foot hill of the Machincang mountain range. The bridge is suspended from a 82 meter high single pylon and hangs at about 100 meter above ground. It swings out over the landscape to give visitors a unique spatial experience and spectacular views. The 1.8 meters wide bridge has two triangular platforms that act as ‘ stops’ where you can admire the view and rest your feet.
