JOHOR BARU: Police have not found any sign of toxic waste disposal activity which could be linked to the incident on Wednesday when 33 students from SK Taman Pasir Putih in Pasir Gudang vomitted and complained of nausea after inhaling bad odour while school was in session.
Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Kamarudin Md Din confirmed that he had contacted Seri Alam district police chief Supt Ismail Dollah to inquire into the matter but was informed that no toxic waste disposal had been detected so far.
He said this in response to a question raised on whether police had received any reports of toxic waste disposal in Pasir Gudang.
In the incident about 7.30am, five boys and 28 girls were referred to the Pasir Gudang health clinic for treatment. -- Bernama
