Water polluters will never learn if penalty is not severe, says Johor exco man

By REMAR NORDIN

ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Federal Government should increase the penalty on water polluters to between RM5mil and RM10mil when amending the Environment Quality Act 1974, says a Johor executive councillor.

Tourism, environment, heritage and culture committee chairman K. Raven Kumar said culprits should also be jailed or forced to do community service to make up for any damage they wrought.
