PETALING JAYA: The Johor state govt must explain the purchase of multi-gas detectors said to be unsuitable for use that have been distributed to 111 schools as the purchase cost more than RM1mil of taxpayers' money, says Wanita MCA central committee member Chan San San.
"They must clarify the reason for buying unsuitable gas detectors and the transactions involved, so that public interest will not be sacrificed nor people's health placed at risk.
Earlier, Pasir Gudang MCA chairman Tan Tuan Peng revealed that the devices were only good for indoor use and not in open areas such as schools. Calling the Johor DOE"implacable to public feedback" for going ahead with the purchase, Chan said it was a waste of money and of no help at all in gauging the air quality.
“The DOE teams are equipped with gas detectors-cum-analysers that can properly identify the gasses in the surrounding environment,” he said.
