THE Federal Government should consider building a chemical waste disposal centre in Pasir Gudang, Johor, to address river and sea pollution caused by irresponsible dumping of industrial waste.

Permas assemblyman Datuk Seri Che Zakaria Mohd Salleh noted that there were more than 5,000 factories in Pasir Gudang, making it one of the largest industrial areas in Malaysia.
