How Many Brave Malaysians Have to Die?

Today’s NST has interesting details of a brave Malaysian who may have been the victim of those involved in corrupt practices.

As one of the government agencies dealing with licences and permissible discharges, the DOE has the duty to ensure that Malaysians are protected from toxic substances.

The DOE standards are quite specific to permissible effluents and other emissions allowed and if factories in Sarawak are violating the laws, it should not be difficult for the authorities to check them out.

For example – the effluent treatment plant capacity and records can be examined to see if they meet the requirements.

For agencies like the DOE and JPJ, dual records in separate locations should be established so that office fires and other supernatural occurrences like missing safes do not jeopardise pending cases.

The sad part is that Rumie is neither the first nor the last Malaysian to die in the course of duty. Remember Jalil Ibrahim, the BMF auditor? Even today, no one knows the full details of the BMF scandal.
