JAS Johor siasat buih putih di Sungai Skudai, tidak jejas LRA

JOHOR BAHRU: Pencemaran buih putih yang dikesan di Sungai Skudai tidak menjejaskan operasi Loji Rawatan Air (LRA) Sultan Ismail, di sini.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pelancongan, Alam Sekitar, Warisan dan Budaya negeri, K. Raven Kumar berkata, penemuan ketulan buih-buih putih yang penuh dilaporkan terjadi di sekitar Jambatan Jalan Bukit Impian, di Taman Impian Emas dan di Sungai Skudai, semalam.

Katanya pihaknya bersama Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) Negeri Johor dan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) telah membuat tinjauan di kawasan tersebut pagi tadi mendapati tiada lagi buih di kesan di lokasi terbabit (berdekatan jambatan Taman Impian Emas).

"Persampelan kualiti air sungai di LRA Sultan Ismail mendapati tahap kualiti air adalah normal dengan bacaan Oksigen Terlarut (DO) adalah 4.95 dan pH adalah 7.

"Pihak pengurusan LRA Sultan Ismail yang turut berada di lokasi kejadian memaklumkan pencemaran buih yang berlaku tidak menjejaskan operasi loji tersebut.

"Saya dan JAS Johor akan menjalankan siasatan lanjut untuk mengenal pasti punca pencemaran terutamanya di premis-premis yang beroperasi di sepanjang Sungai Skudai yang juga berpotensi menyebabkan pencemaran sungai berbuih," katanya menerusi satu kenyataan di sini, hari ini.

Raven Kumar berkata orang ramai boleh melaporkan kes-kes pencemaran kepada Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) di talian bebas tol di talian 1-800-88-2727 dan atau melalui e-aduan di eaduan@doe.gov.my.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
