Sim: Pupils fell sick due to human error at farm

PORT DICKSON: Investigations by the authorities found that “human error” was what led to 32 pupils at SK Linggi to fall sick after workers sprayed pesticide at a chilli farm last Thursday.

The workers had also used unsui­table pesticide at the farm located some 500m from the school, said Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Sim Tze Tzin.
