This was due to a pollution that was found yesterday at Sungai Semenyih, prompting Syarikat Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) to suspend operations at its Sungai Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants.
He has announced recently that the pollution in the Semenyih River was caused by a pollution from Sungai Batang Benar in Negeri Sembilan, which is approximately 30 km from Sungai Semenyih.
He has also tweeted just shortly that 21 premises have been shortlisted believed to be the source of the pollution. He added that an investigation is being carried out at the premises.
JAS Negeri Sembilan pagi tadi telah bermesyuarat dengan beberapa agensi kerajaan termasuk Jab Veterinar dan Jab Perikanan. Empat kumpulan telah dibentuk bagi mengenal pasti punca pencemaran. Sebanyak 21 premis telah disenarai pendek untuk siasatan. #MalaysiaSejahtera#KASA
