JOHOR BARU: The Johor government is expected to impose new conditions on companies that operate near rivers as part of stronger measures to prevent pollution incidents, says exco member Ling Tian Soon (pic).
The state health and environment committee chairman said the move follows the contamination of Sungai Johor in Kota Tinggi, believed to have occurred when a sand-washing pond burst and released sediment into the river on Oct 31.
