Stop oil spill at sea, Johor urged

Sludge from the oil spill incident in March is still visible on the beach of Tanjung Sutera.

KOTA TINGGI: Environmental groups have urged the new state government to solve the long-standing oil spill problem in Johor.

Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Johor committee member Dr Sharan Sambhi said the state’s eastern coastline had been particu­larly prone to this problem because of the high number of international ships plying the route.
