SHAH ALAM: Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) mengesan aktiviti pembuangan sisa kimia berhampiran lurang loji Indah Water Konsortium Sdn. Bhd. (IWK) berhampiran sebuah tasik Bandar Bukit Mahkota, Cheras, dekat sini semalam.

Perbuatan itu dikesan JAS dan Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKj) selepas menerima maklumat daripada orang awam kira-kira pukul 10 malam.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tetap Pelancongan, Alam Sekitar & Teknologi Hijau dan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli Selangor, Hee Loy Sian berkata, pihak berkuasa telah mengesan sisa kimia berwarna putih dengan campuran bahan pelarut di lurang loji IWK berhampiran kawasan tersebut.

“Bagaimanapun, bahan buangan ini berjaya disedut menggunakan dua lori tangki bagi mengeluarkan bahan berkenaan. Tindakan pantas ini berjaya mengelakkan penutupan Loji Rawatan Air (LRA) Sungai Semenyih, Kajang.

“Sementara kerja-kerja pembersihan dilakukan, pihak berkuasa terpaksa menutup loji IWK buat sementara waktu bagi membolehkan kerja-kerja pembersihan dilakukan dan selesai kira-kira pukul 2 pagi,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas hadir ke Taklimat Pelan Perancangan Penyelesaian Masalah Bekalan Air di Sungai Selangor & Sungai Semenyih di sini hari ini.

Yang turut hadir, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tetap Infrastruktur dan Kemudahan Awam, Pemodenan Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Ir. Izham Hashim.

Dalam masa sama, beliau berkata, jarak lokasi loji IWK dengan tasik berhampiran kawasan itu yang bersambung dengan Sungai Beranang kira-kira satu kilometer.

“Tempat kejadian adalah bersempadan dengan Nilai, Negeri Sembilan dan ini merupakan siri pencemaran kali ketiga pernah berlaku sejak tahun 2018 lalu.

“Kawasan tersebut sangat terpencil dengan pembangunannya yang terbiar lama termasuk tiada sesiapa yang tinggal di situ. Saya percaya pihak berkenaan mengambil kesempatan ekoran faktor tersebut,” ujarnya.

Mengulas mengenai dalang yang melakukan pencemaran beliau berkata, sehingga kini pihak berkuasa masih menjejaki suspek yang terlibat.

“Setakat ini, kita tidak tahu siapa yang melakukannya dan mereka membuang bahan terlarang dengan menggunakan lori bagi mengelak dikesan.

“Sekiranya tiada tindakan pantas semalam, penutupan loji mungkin berlaku berikutan air tercemar dan dijangka akan dibawa ke LRA Semenyih dalam tempoh 10 jam,” katanya. -UTUSAN ONLINE

NST Leader: Paying the price
November 27, 2020 @ 12:01am

This Nov 23 picture shows Lim Kian Aik and R. Nathan being escorted by police officers at Selayang Courts Complex ahead of the trial. The duo are the first individuals to be charged with sabotaging water services in Selangor, an offence under Section 124K of the Penal Code. - NSTP/EIZAIRI SHAMSUDIN

Time and again, residents of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur have faced unscheduled water cuts.

All this because of pollution in one of the rivers in Selangor that supply raw water to treatment plants.

It is not just a Klang Valley phenomenon as various other rivers in Malaysia, including raw water sources, are polluted to varying extents.

The issue seems to crop up exponentially more often in Selangor than in other parts, so much so it has become a subject of derision. When news of the discovery of water on the surface of the moon broke, for instance, many Netizens joked that it was easier to find water there than in Selangor. Or that it was time to move to the moon. It is not a laughing matter.

Each time water supply is cut, millions of people are affected and more often than not, it lasts several days. Each time pollution occurs, there are the same calls for stern action to be taken. And, each time, these calls came to naught.

All that, however, changed on Monday, hopefully, when a company director and a road contractor, allegedly behind the latest Sungai Selangor pollution incident, were charged with sabotage under the Penal Code. They are the first to be charged with such an offence under Section 124K of the Code, at least for polluting river water. Section 124K carries life imprisonment upon conviction.

The wording of the section is unambiguous. It reads: "Whoever, by any means, directly or indirectly, commits sabotage shall be punished with imprisonment for life." That the offence of sabotage is being used is a clear message to those who take pollution lightly, all in the name of profit.

This Leader applauds the use of this particular section of the Penal Code. But there is a word of caution though, as this would likely be a test case and the offence of sabotage may make it difficult for the prosecution to shoulder the burden of proof.

Perhaps that is why the two men were also charged with other, lesser offences under the Water Services Industry Act 2006 and the Environmental Quality Act 1974. These offences carry rather paltry sentences of fines of between RM50,000 and RM500,000 and jail terms of between a year and five years. Hence, why the use of the Penal Code is to be applauded.

The question is, however, why was this not applied before? Nobody wants to spend a lifetime in jail. The charge of sabotage, then, would have been one of the best deterrents. It is fair warning to would-be polluters. Stay away from our rivers, unless you want to live out your remaining years behind bars. There will be no more of the usual fines or compound notices.

The government may also want to consider implementing the "polluters pay" principle, as suggested by former federal counsel, Professor Datuk Salleh Buang. Now would be the best time to adopt it.

The principle says a convicted polluter is required to pay a certain amount to the state to cover the cost of restoring the damaged environment to its former condition.

You pollute, you pay — indeed, those who produce pollution should bear the costs of managing it to prevent damage to human health or the environment.
