: Two heavy machinery workshops located near Sungai Rawang were demolished by the authorities today in an operation to weed out premises suspected of polluting water sources and causing water supply disruptions in the Klang Valley.
The integrated operation against encroachment on government land was conducted by the Gombak District and Land Office, Selayang Municipal Council, Department of Environment and police under Section 425 of the National Land Code 1965, he told a press conference at the Selayang Municipal Council. “Based on our records, these workshops were among the culprits in the incidents of pollution in Sungai Gong and Sungai Sembah last September,“ he added.
Asked on the action to be taken against the workshop operators, Amirudin said this would depend on whether investigation by the Department of Environment showed that water samples taken from the river contained scheduled waste.
