JOHOR BARU: A gas-like stench from a chemical spill at Kampung Baru Sri Aman here has ignited fear and anger among the villagers, raising the spectre of the Sungai Kim Kim pollution in the state two years ago. The 46-year-old said her husband had told her of a strong petrol smell coming from outside their home at around 7.30pm on Tuesday. “My parents were selling food in Tampoi at the time and they rushed home to send my sister to hospital. At the same time, I was also worried that it would become another Sungai Kim Kim incident. Ahlami said the Sungai Kim Kim incident, just two years ago, should have been a wake-up call for the government to tackle pollution.
