VICTIMS of the Sungai Kim Kim pollution are urging the government to reassess the penalties on those accountable for the river contamination as they argue the punishment is insufficient in light of the considerable suffering experienced by the victims.

This comes after one of the victims, Irfan Wafiy Idham Wazir, 16, continues to endure hardships as he now needs crutches after being diagnosed with Myokymia, a condition causing tremors in certain body parts due to the pollution.

His mother, Norlela Abu Hashim, 50, when contacted by Bernama, said the government should enhance environmental laws and impose heavier fines.

“The penalty must match the severity of the offence. A meagre fine implies the well-being of the affected children is inappropriately valued.

“My son, despite the five years that have passed since the incident occurred when he was in Year Six, still relies on crutches as he strives for a full recovery,” said the mother of five.

She said her fourth child, who possesses a strong fighting spirit, still requires therapy to strengthen his legs.

However, Norlela expressed her gratitude to the Department of Environment (JAS) for handling the case, ensuring that those responsible were successfully proven guilty.

Meanwhile, Mohd Rafee Abdullah, 51, said the pollution continues to impact the health and respiratory issues of his 11-year-old daughter, Nur Akma Darisha Sofea.

He said apart from meting out suitable penalties, it is crucial to acknowledge the profound need for medical assistance for the victims.

“My daughter is still undergoing follow-up treatment with a pulmonologist at the hospital. Her attendance at school fluctuates based on her condition. I hope the government will provide ongoing medical assistance to alleviate the challenges we face.” he said.

The incident, which occurred on March 7, 2019, involving the illegal dumping of toxic waste into Sungai Kim Kim, not only shook the nation but also had a detrimental impact on the health of over 2,000 individuals. As a consequence, 111 schools in Pasir Gudang were compelled to close.

In a statement last night, JAS informed that a lorry driver was fined a maximum of RM100,000 by the Johor Baru Sessions Court on November 30, for causing pollution by the illegal disposal of scheduled waste into Sungai Kim Kim in Pasir Gudang, Johor in 2019.

Meanwhile, P Tech Resources Sdn Bhd, which faced eight charges under the Environmental Quality Regulations 2014, was also fined RM40,000 for each charge, resulting in a total of RM320,000. – Bernama, December 3, 2023.

  • I'm Thomas Yi from the United States. I started playing lottery games 4 years ago and I have never won big. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about Abdul Basser who has made different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted Abdul Basser who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lotto winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lotto game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through WhatsApp/call/text via this number +27717403094 or you can email him on: [email protected] or visit his website at https://africanancientspells.mystrikingly.com/.

  • My name is CARLY ARDEN from Usa Oregon .I want to give thanks to Abdul Basser for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the letter Im about to write would actually one day be written. I was the worlds biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic love spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldnt face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work out, but my husband didnt seem to care. and he broke up with me again.I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather than to get in contact with Abdul Basser. He did a spiritual love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. Abdul Basser makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good. He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and were doing very, very well, in our love life. contact [email protected]

  • I used to be a very poor woman who has always not found luck when it comes to playing the lottery. I have been playing the lottery since I was 21 years and now I am 45 meaning I have been playing the lottery for 24 years. The biggest amount I have ever won in my life was 400 bucks. But one day my story turns to history after I find this man's name on the Internet that he is the best when it comes to winning the lottery. This man is a very strong voodoo doc who gives out the numbers that can never fail.
