Selepas 7 tahun, mangsa kes Sg Kim Kim menang saman
Mahkamah Tinggi JB putuskan syarikat, pemandu lori dan dua pengarah syarikat bertanggungjawab dalam kejadian pencemaran toksik pada 2019.
Seven years after the toxic gas spill in Sungai Kim Kim, Johor, 171 victims have won a lawsuit against four defendants. The Johor High Court ruled that P Tech Resources Sdn Bhd, N Maridass, and two company directors were collectively and individually responsible for the 2019 toxic spill. The court found that the incident affected over 6,000 residents, with 2,775 requiring hospital treatment for symptoms such as suffocation, fainting, vomiting, muscle weakness, and burns.
Schools in Pasir Gudang were closed for three waves of exposure. The court ordered the four defendants to pay RM100,000 in costs to all 171 plaintiffs, covering both personal injury and a separate case involving 129 fishermen who sued for losses in fish catch. The total compensation amount for all plaintiffs will be determined later.
