SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari admits that there are certain parties that were dissatisfied with the decisive actions of the state government to handle the problem of water pollution.
According to Amirudin, the state administration believes that the suspect involved in the Rawang odor pollution incident is familiar with the monitoring trends of local authorities.
He said that the odor pollution occurred upstream from Sungai Gong and that this act was carried out outside the monitoring hours of the authorities.
“I believe that the members of my executive council and I will be blamed for the severe actions we have taken to ensure that water pollution does not occur in Selangor,” he said in the lobby of the Annex Building on Tuesday (November 10).
Amirudin said the closure of the four water treatment plants occurred just 24 hours after the State Legislative Assembly approved the amendments to the Enactment of the Water Management Board.
Commenting further, Amirudin said that the state’s legal adviser will send a notice to the Selangor Palace to obtain the royal consent of Sultan Selangor in order to enforce the law.
He added that the state government had not used the drone facilities to monitor rivers as announced in the Selangor Budget for 2021.
“Our expectation to use the drone in November will accelerate. We could make changes in the use of the drone because we fear there will be more sabotage in our operations program, ”he said.
