KULIM: Quick action by the Fire and Rescue Department's hazardous materials (Hazmat) team prevented a major chemical spill after a truck skidded and dropped tanks containing 2,800 litres of nitric and phosphoric acid on Jalan Padang Meha, Padang Serai, today.
Approximately 55 litres of chemicals leaked onto the road - 30 litres of nitric acid and 25 litres of phosphoric acid - while the remaining contents stayed contained in their tanks.
Kulim Hi-Tech Fire and Rescue Station chief Azmir Hassan said the Hazmat team was deployed immediately after receiving a distress call at 2.15pm.
He said the truck was transporting chemicals labelled as aluminium etchant, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid.
The spill involved two intermediate bulk tanks carrying 2,000 litres of nitric acid and four drums containing 800 litres of phosphoric acid, he said.
"Hazmat personnel conducted air quality monitoring using specialised equipment to detect chemical residue and airborne contaminants.
"Safety barriers were also set up to secure the area. "Twelve intact drums containing 2,400 litres of phosphoric acid were relocated to a safe zone using a forklift.
"Meanwhile, the damaged nitric acid tanks and phosphoric acid drums will be removed with heavy machinery, including a crane," he said in a statement today.
He said no injuries were reported, and the operation is ongoing with assistance from the police and the Department of Environment (DoE).
"Clean-up operations will continue until the site is fully secured," he said.

Jadi kita mahu ini dipulihkan, tindakan akan diambil,” ujarnya lagi.

SHAH ALAM - Penduduk sekitar Lembah Klang dan Putrajaya berdepan risiko margin rizab air rendah apabila musim kemarau tiba, ekoran kelewatan pembinaan Loji Rawatan Air (LRA) Sungai Rasau Fasa 1.
Bekas Menteri Alam Sekitar dan Air, Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man berkata, loji yang dijadualkan siap Disember 2025 namun kini diunjurkan beroperasi sepenuhnya pada Disember 2026, memberi kesan secara langsung kepada pengguna.
“Kelewatan pembinaan LRA akibat insiden tebing runtuh pada September 2024 pasti memberi kesan terhadap pengguna terutama pada saat permintaan air yang semakin meningkat di Lembah Klang.
“Namun realitinya rakyat di Lembah Klang masih bergantung kepada LRA Sungai Rasau untuk memastikan bekalan air mencukupi bagi keperluan harian dan industri,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan di Facebook pada Selasa.
Sebelum ini media melaporkan, Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) menjangkakan kelewatan dalam pembinaan LRA Sungai Rasau susulan insiden tebing sungai runtuh dan menenggelamkan tapak projek berkenaan.
Bagaimanapun, Pengarah Unit Komunikari Korporat dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna SPAN, Mohd Fazli Ismail berkata, Syarikat Air Selangor (Air Selangor) akan mengenal pasti penambahbaikan sistem agihan grid bersambung lanjutan perkara tersebut.
Tambah Tuan Ibrahim, kerajaan seharusnya memantau projek berkenaan dengan lebih rapi supaya tiada kelewatan tambahan selain mempercepatkan usaha menambah rizab bekalan air negara.
“Air adalah keperluan asas rakyat. Langkah mitigasi jangka pendek perlu diperkukuh termasuk pemantauan rapi terhadap paras sungai dan empangan serta pengurusan pengagihan air lebih cekap,” katanya.

KUALA LUMPUR: Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA) kini dalam proses untuk mengkaji pelaksanaan bagi pembayaran Bantuan Wang Ihsan (BWI) secara pemindahan dana elektronik (EFT).
Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berkata langkah itu jika dilaksanakan mampu mengurangkan birokrasi dalam agihan bantuan.
"NADMA sedang berusaha untuk menambahbaik serta mempermudahkan prosedur pemberian BWI kepada Ketua Isi Rumah (KIR) mangsa bencana, bagi memastikan tiada halangan birokrasi dalam penyaluran bantuan tersebut dan meringankan beban yang ditanggung mangsa bencana.
"NADMA dalam proses mengkaji pelaksanaan pembayaran BWI melalui EFT dengan Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) bagi mengurangkan birokrasi dalam agihan bantuan.
"Inisiatif ini bertujuan untuk mempercepatkan proses penyaluran bantuan kepada mangsa bencana dengan memanfaatkan teknologi perbankan digital, seterusnya memastikan bantuan sampai dengan lebih efisien," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian dalam jawapan bertulis bagi menjawab soalan daripada Datuk Willie Mongin (GPS- Puncak Borneo) mengenai jenis bantuan disediakan oleh NADMA serta sama ada proses permohonan bantuan itu dapat dipermudahkan.
Zahid yang juga Menteri Kemajuan Desa dan Wilayah berkata, bagi kejadian bencana semasa musim Monsun Timur Laut (MTL) termasuk bencana banjir, terdapat dua jenis bantuan bencana yang disediakan oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan melalui peruntukan yang disalurkan oleh NADMA kepada semua negeri.
"Untuk pemberian BWI sebanyak RM1,000 untuk setiap KIR yang layak dan dan BWI kematian pula,sebanyak RM10,000 untuk waris kepada mangsa yang meninggal dunia.
"Sebelum agihan BWI dilaksanakan, senarai KIR yang terjejas akibat bencana akan disemak dan disahkan oleh Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Daerah (JPBD) sebelum diperakukan oleh Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negeri (JPBN).
"Pengagihan BWI kepada KIR akan dilaksanakan oleh Pejabat Daerah atau Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri berdasarkan senarai nama yang diperakukan oleh Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negeri," katanya.
KUANTAN: Enhancing public transportation connectivity, implementing flood mitigation efforts and providing comprehensive facilities to boost the halal sector are among the areas of focus emphasised by the Pahang government in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) which begins next year.
State Agriculture, Agro-based Industry, Biotechnology and Education committee chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Soffi Abd Razak said the Pahang government has submitted their 'wishlist' covering a wide range of high-impact projects to be looked into by the Federal government.
"Pahang is rich in natural resources and has great potential to grow. The state's administration wants to fully utilise the available potential by ensuring that the planned development programmes and projects will have a positive impact on the people....road network and public transport are vital.
Transportation networks will open new economic and development opportunities across the country. Completing the Central Spine Road (CSR) between Kuala Krai, Kelantan, and Pelangai, Bentong, is crucial, helping to reduce traffic congestion and create jobs, he added.
"Pahang has the potential to attract new investments in the halal industry as Gebeng has been identified as an ideal location due to the presence of infrastructure facilities such as Kuantan Port and the soon to be completed East Coast Rail Link in the vicinity. The halal park will focus on various products, including food and beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile, Soffi said floods had resulted in losses amounting to billions of ringgit and measures to reduce the impact of floods through mitigation projects has to be prioritised in the 13MP.
"We should not allow the damages and losses(resulting from floods) to continue occuring," he told reporters here today.
Soffi had earlier represented Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail to attend the 13MP management engagement session between the Pahang government and Deputy Economy Minister Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib here today.
The Pelangai dual-carriageway stretch was supposed to be part of the 306km CSR connecting Bentong and Kelantan but phase six of the stretch here was not part of the 12th Malaysian Plan resulting in the construction to end in Sertik, Bentong.
On the construction of the Kuantan international airport in Gebeng here, which was proposed under the 12th Malaysia Plan, Soffi said he hopes the proposal which got the nod from the National Physical Planning Council will be made a reality in the 13MP.
"Plans for an international airport have been included for the 13MP and I was told that the Federal government is looking at the involvement from the private sector to build the airport.
"The existing Kuantan airport (Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Airport) shares the runway with the air force so the construction of an international airport is vital," he said.
It was reported last year, that the Pahang government received proposals from private investors to build the new airport and were studying the matter. (https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2024/08/1092822/no-decision-yet-new-p...)
Meanwhile, Hanifah said Pahang was the last stop for the engagement sessions which began in October last year and has provided the ministry an opportunity to interact with various parties to hear feedback in formulating a more inclusive and effective plan.
"States across Malaysia have raised various proposals depending on several factors including geographical and economic needs of the respective state. The 13MP is not just a plan for the next five years (2026-2030) but to lay down the foundation for future planning," she said.
