00:00 The source of a strange order as SK Sungai Tiram in Johor is still being investigated.
00:07 Initial investigations did not find any illegal dumping or scheduled waste disposal
00:11 in the school surroundings in Kampung Sungai Tiram, Udutiram.
00:15 Johor Environment Department Director Dr. Mohamad Fahmi Yusuf said
00:20 they are monitoring the situation with the Hazardous Material Unit
00:24 and the Pasigudang City Council
00:26 and found the samples of air and water taken from the river in the village are normal.
00:32 Mohamad Fahmi said the DOE has yet to determine the source of the order
00:36 and are using drones to identify whether they are illegal dumping grounds
00:40 or discharged from factories.
00:42 He said initial concerns from the authorities that an unlicensed used cooking oil processing factory
00:47 located in the village was involved in the matter after several tanks were found at the premises.
00:53 However, no waste or discharge was found at the site and the drain in the area was not connected to the river,
00:58 but action has been taken against the factory on Wednesday for operating without a license.
01:04 On Tuesday, 24 pupils, two teachers and two canteen staff from the school had to seek medical attention
01:10 after suffering from dizzy spells and vomiting due to a strange order in the area.
