SINGAPORE: Singapore authorities are “closely monitoring” the East Johor Strait following two pollution incidents, including a palm oil spill in the coastal waters off Kampung Pasir Putih in Johor.
The other incident affected the Johor River and was caused by sand mining activities, said Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) on Saturday (Nov 1). PUB has temporarily suspended operations at its Johor River Waterworks.
Both incidents are not connected.
NEA is in touch with Johor’s Department of Environment and “understands that the sources of pollution from both incidents have been contained and stopped”.
