The making of EM Mud Balls with members of JCI Kulim is one of the environment conservation programs initiated by LA21 MPSP and launched by YDP of MPSP Encik Farizan Darus together with MPSP councillors Oon and Soon at the front foyer of Dewan MPSP, Jalan Betek, BM on 4/1/2009. The Program was attended by more than 40 participants of mostly members of JCI Kulim.
MPSP officer Mr Chew Eng Seng gave a short briefing on how to produce EM mud balls. The mud balls are make of EM liquid, rice husk and clay soil (content ratio 3 litre, 1 kilo and 2 kilo). Each cubic meter of EM is capable of producing 2,000 Mud balls with each ball costing less than 4 cents. The process of making mud balls is simple yet meaningful, everybody, regardless of young and old, and students are encouraged to learn this new skills.
What is EM ??
E.M. is an abbreviation for EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS Microorganisms are tiny units of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye and they exist everywhere in nature. Microorganisms are crucial for maintaining the ecological balance. They carry out chemical processes that make it possible for all other organisms including humans to live. There are friendly guys of the microbial worlds known as beneficial microorganisms and a not so friendly group called pathogens that are harmful and capable of producing disease, decay and pollution.

The EM Mud balls are useful as one of the environmental solutions towards reducing water pollutants and thus improving water quality in our rivers and drains. The fermentation emitted from the mud balls will alleviate or destroy the ammonia nitrogen found in human effluents and sewerage leakages into the water system. These mud balls will be drop at Parit 4 near Desa Damai Bukit Mertajam which is a very seriously polluted waterway. The exercise will be carried out every 4 months.
