Three suspects linked to the illegal dumping of chemical waste in Sungai Kim Kim, Pasir Gudang, were brought before a Sessions Court judge this morning.
According to Berita Harian, the three suspects arrived at the court in Johor Bahru at 9.04am today.
Police have so far arrested 11 individuals linked to the case, but one was reportedly released earlier this week after he was found to not be involved in the pollution incident.
The case is being investigated under Sections 278, 284 and 326 of the Penal Code for making the environment noxious to health, negligent conduct with respect to a poisonous substance, and voluntarily causing grievous hurt.
Since March 7, more than 4,000 people have sought treatment as a result of the contamination, with all 111 schools in the Pasir Gudang district initially ordered to shut down in its aftermath.
