Abstract: Malacca is a historical place and appropriate to travel. Suddenly, water pollution became an issue to affect the state’s economy. This situation happened due to the human development and has various negative implications for the environment. Manufacturing activities, human sewage and livestock waste may cause river water to become polluted. Even human have the right to use the water, but they don’t have the right to damage the water resource. Accordingly, this article seeks to explore Malacca River pollution from an ethical perspective views. These ethical values involve prescriptivism and moral realism, God and religion ethics, human consequentialism ethics or deontology ethics, and the example of good human beings. Applying ethical perspective toward human activities may sustain the health of water in the Malacca River.
