PASIR GUDANG: The unsung heroes working to contain the Sungai Kim Kim chemical pollution in Pasir Gudang are forced to endure long hours not just to treat the victims, but also carry out detection for chemical substances around the area, collect samples and even carry out cleaning works.More than a dozen agencies have been involved in the process for the past 11 days. They are mobilised from around the country.

One of them is Fire and Rescue Department’s hazardous materials (Hazmat) specialist M. Murugiah who was in the midst of teaching firemen at the department’s training college in Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor, when he received his deployment orders to move to Johor at 10am on March 12.

Immediate reaction: Murugiah did not hesitate and headed straight to Johor.
