Kedah DOE monitoring latex spill cleanup on NSE

ALOR SETAR: The Kedah Department of Environment (DOE) is closely monitoring the cleanup of 40,000 litres of latex that spilt after a trailer carrying the load skidded into a ditch at KM41.2 (southbound) from Hutan Kampung to Alor Setar on the North-South Expressway (NSE) last Saturday.

Its director, Sharifah Zakiah Syed Sahab, said the DOE received a report about the incident through the ‘e-aduan’ system at 6.59pm on the day of the incident, which prompted its officers to go to the scene for an investigation.
