Sahabat Sungai Malaysia president Prof Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang said the Klang River could become a recreational swimming destination through sustained restoration work, and he proposed using river bathing as a practical cleanliness metric. Zaini argued that bathability provides simpler assessment criteria than biochemical measurements when determining water quality standards for public understanding. He emphasized that making the Klang and Langat Rivers safe for recreation requires pollution source identification, and he called for improved riverbank infrastructure to attract visitors.

Household maintenance of drainage systems and septic tank connections to public sewerage networks represents the foundation of river protection efforts. Zaini referenced European cities that employ river bathing as water quality indicators after visiting multiple metropolitan areas abroad. Clean rivers generate tourism opportunities beyond swimming by offering scenic attractions for photography and leisure activities. Well-maintained waterways could rank among the country's premier tourist destinations when restoration projects succeed in meeting safety standards.
