Meanwhile, in SEREMBAN, Negeri Sembilan deputy police chief  SAC Che Zakaria Othman said both men were investigated under Section 430 of the Penal Code following a police report lodged by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe investigation at a site in Jalan Emas near the factory, Chuan Plus Industries Sdn Bhd near Sungai Batang Besar was believed to be the location of waste dumping after samples were taken from the location by a forensic team from Negeri Sembilan police contingent headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Police also seized a lorry and transportation documents,\u201d he told a media conference at Negeri Sembilan police contingent headquarters today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Che Zakaria said both men were working as driver and lorry assistant of a transport company in Kelantan have been remanded for seven days from today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Bernama reported that the Environment and Water Ministry said wastes and organic compounds found in the bushes on the fringe of the Nilai Industrial Park as the source of pollution in the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pollution caused two water treatment plants in Sungai Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi to halt operation resulting in unscheduled water supply disruption to 309,687 consumer accounts in Petaling, Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat and Sepang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
