Johor education and information committee chairman Aznan Tamin said that for now, SK Kampung Maju Jaya is the only school that had been ordered to shut.
“For other schools, we will wait for the decision of the district disaster management committee, which is meeting this evening.
Aznan said, according to Berita Harian.Precautionary measures are in place in other schools, with everyone ordered to wear face masks,
He said the students were wearing face masks, but started to experience dry throats, had difficulty breathing and suffered nausea.
This led to medical workers from the Kempas health clinic being sent to treat them.
Roslan said the pupils were told to go home. The school’s afternoon session was cancelled as a precaution.
He urged the authorities to act on the issue and to prevent a recurrence, expressing concern for the well-being of children and senior citizens in his village.
Last Tuesday, a foul odour was reported in Taman Daya, Taman Mount Austin, Taman Istimewa and Kampung Melayu Pandan.
Environmental officials detected ammonia gas levels exceeding normal thresholds in the Sungai Pandan area in Kampung Melayu Pandan.
Unidentified packages were also discovered dumped along the banks of the Sungai Pandan tributary near Taman Daya.
On Friday, authorities found suspicious chemicals dumped on the banks of a Sungai Plentong tributary in the Desa Tropika industrial area in Johor Bahru, after complaints about a strong chemical odour. - FMT
