JOHOR BARU • Two directors and a lorry driver of a used tyre-processing company were charged in the Sessions Court in Johor Baru yesterday with being involved in the dumping of chemicals into Sungai Kim Kim in Pasir Gudang.
The trio pleaded not guilty when the charges were read before Judge Hakim Jailani Rahman in Johor Baru yesterday. Datuk Mohd Khalil said state police would be working with their Singapore counterparts to track down the man, the New Straits Times newspaper quoted him as saying. The Malaysian federal government and Johor state officials scrambled for some two weeks to clear chemicals from the river, which discharges into the Strait of Johor just north of Pulau Ubin.
