KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s waters remain uncontaminated by the recent release of treated water from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, says Chang Lih Kang, responding to recent concerns over the safety of local seafood.

The Science, Technology, and Innovation Minister said current radioactivity levels of the country’s waters do not pose a threat.
