TANJUNG KARANG: Six men, including two Bangladeshis, died after inhaling ammonia fumes at a fish processing factory at a private jetty in Bagan Pasir, near here, yesterday. The gas is believed to have leaked from the cooling system of a freezer at the factory. All six victims, among whom was the younger brother of the factory owner, were pronounced dead upon arrival at Tanjung Karang Hospital. The first to succumb to the fumes were two Bangladeshi workers, Sekendar Ali, 36, and Mumin Mia, 20. The two lost consciousness at 8.30am while carrying sacks of fish from the freezer to be sent to a fertiliser factory. The hazmat team securing the area where the leak occurred. Seeing their predicament, Lim Kean Chew, 35, the factory owner’s brother, rushed to their aid together with Lim Kim Soon, 58, Sia Liang Huat, 33, and Gan Ayong, 30, all of whom live near the factory. They carried the two foreigners out of the freezer area but then lost consciousness themselves. Another five men who passed out while trying to help the six were warded at the same hospital but later transferred to the Sungai Buloh Hospital for further treatment. The five — three Bangladeshi workers and two nearby residents — who are now being treated are Samsul Hud, 40, Yeon Kok Teng, 43 and Teh Ah Low, 54, and two others identified only as Abdul Rashid, 32, and Waduk, 36. Selangor Fire and Rescue Department chief Soiman Jahid said the department received a call at 8.59am and the first fire engine from Tanjung Karang arrived at the scene nine minutes later. The department’s hazmat (hazardous materials) team from Shah Alam was also rushed to the scene to prevent the leakage from spreading to some 15 houses located within a 100-metre radius of the factory. Soiman said when the team arrived, they found the six men foaming at the mouth and the other five lying unconscious nearby. “Among the first thing we did was to spray water around the affected area to dilute the toxic vapour. “We also neutralised the acidic water in the freezer using soda ash. “We ordered nearby residents to temporarily evacuate their homes as a precautionary measure but they were allowed to return home at 2pm after the area was declared safe.” The factory has four freezers that are 2.5m deep and 4.5m long. Soiman said initial investigations revealed that a damaged cooling system had caused the leakage. Kuala Selangor acting police chief Deputy Superintendent Zulkifli Jonit said the case had been classified as sudden death pending further investigations and results of post-mortem examinations.

Setiap hari aku baca berita. Ada yang macam tipu, ada yang macam betul. Laman ini adalah eksperimen aku, di mana aku mahu lihat apa yang boleh terhasil jika intipritasi berita yang aku baca dijadikan lagu. Berita-berita yang aku jadikan rujukan aku letak di bawah "Sumber inspirasi/kebenaran" dan kesemua berita tersebut adalah merupakan kejadian-kejadian yang berlaku di Malaysia. Aku rasa, adalah lagi baik kalau berita asal dibaca sebelum 'lagu' yang berkaitan didengari. Ini bukan hiburan atau komedi. Ini adalah satu eksperimen. Jangan salah faham.
