00:00The National Water Services Commission says local laws were breached in the water pollution

00:07incident last month that led to hundreds of areas in the Klang Valley experiencing water

00:12cuts.

00:14SPAN chairman Charles Santiago told FMT that this was uncovered after a site visit to a

00:20factory linked to the incident as part of a three-day inquiry by the commission.

00:26He added that SPAN is trying to bring together all relevant parties and government agencies

00:32to get a sense of what transpired in the incident and to ensure that it does not happen again.

00:38However, he declined to disclose further details, saying the commission would release a full

00:43report on the pollution incident next week.
