Wrong cleaning practice suspected


PETALING JAYA: An unsystematic cleaning practice by a heavy machinery workshop could be the reason why more than a million households in the Klang Valley suffered a major water cut.

Selangor Department of Environment (DOE) director Nor Aziah Jaafar said further investigations were carried out on the premises to determine why it had broken the rules for the second time after it was fined RM60,000 in March for polluting the river.
