Former natural resources and environment minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says the government should table a new environment bill to tackle water pollution matters more effectively.
Wan Junaidi told FMT he was informed that the Johor state authorities were aware of the recent illegal waste dumping into the river but no action was taken to dispose of the toxic waste. Wan Junaidi said even though illegal dumping of chemical wastes was not widespread, it was regularly carried out by smaller companies who wanted to cut costs.
Meanwhile, an environmental activist has described Malaysia’s efforts to clean up the rivers as “20 years too late” as the majority of them are highly polluted with plastic, household and factory wastes. “It is not just the failure of the state. It is from the man on the street walking along the rivers and does nothing to alert the local authorities, and the local councils having very little resources to monitor the rivers.

I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg of chemical or radiation pollution in M’sia. I hope there is a task force to check for similar hazard with detailed untampered report in all the states.
