Greenpeace calls for independent probe into Sungai Perak blue water incident


IPOH: Environmental organisation Greenpeace Malaysia (Greenpeace) has urged the government to establish an independent investigation panel to thoroughly probe the incident of Sungai Perak turning blue and to assess the level of compliance by the companies involved with Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements.

Greenpeace said preliminary reports indicated radiation readings at the waste site were 13 times above permissible limits, raising major concerns over environmental safety, waste management transparency, and the effectiveness of regulatory enforcement.
