[710] Of two more illegal toxic waste dump sites
Two more illegal toxic waste dump sites have been discovered . Well, not discovered per se but was announched instance by a person that helped moved the waste around. Found it out through TV3 and good old Bernama carries an article about it. While Bernama doesn't name the location of the other two sites, TV3 reveals that the two others are located in Yong Peng, Segamat which is also in Johor.

Earlier this month - still an ongoing controversy - drums of illegally dumped aluminum dross were discovered in Labis. And while the article states that a total of 300 tonnes of aluminum dross were dumped, TV3 insists a couple days ago that the quantity is far greater. The Department of Environment will have a lot of answering to do for the next few days. This revelation proves that Department of Environment is ineffective.

So, Johor - a state with crooks running around freely on one big land designated as a huge toxic waste dump site. What's next?

Ah, Selangor. The states where nature reserves are gazetted for anything but nature conservation.

p/s - Article 153 of the Malaysian Constitution is Wikipedia's current Today's Featured Article. It's mostly fellow Malaysian Wikipedian Johnleemk's work. As with any featured article, this article is suffering above average act of vandalism. One vandal wrote "Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia grants the peoples of this world to declare that Wikipedia is Communism."

Heh.

Another vandal is a little bit too naughty. Do not click on the naughty link if you are easily disturbed. How disturbing the link is? Well, let's say that Parents For The Online Safety of Children would be extremely worked up if they saw that.

pp/s - one thing for sure, there won't be too much fun for far-leftists in Singapore this September.

p3/s - almost bullshit. Why don't they sue Jeremy Clarkson too...

Yahoo! has AP's version of the report. It's on the front page too.
