“I want to stress that what the victims experienced here is a case of acute exposure. This is different from chronic exposure where the victims will have continuous contact with a toxic substance over a long period of time,” he said. Also present was Johor Health, Environment and Agriculture Committee chairman Dr Sahruddin Jamal and Johor Health Department director Dr Selahudden Abdul Aziz.
