TENOM MP ACCUSED MINISTRY OF TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE DUMPING OF LEAD ACID BATTERIES IN SABAH

“In Tenom, there are schools that are equipped with solar energy which uses lead batteries that is certain to give health risks which will hinder their education,”

“If the lead battery is dumped in the river, it will not only kill life in the river and people who eat or drink anything from the river will have a high risk of getting chronic diseases. Disposal by burying batteries is also a danger because the toxic chemical will also spread underground to the water system,”

Lead batteries contain sulphuric acid which may result in cancer.

“Why are schools in rural areas, such as Tenom, becoming victims of carelessness of the ministries concerned, including the consultants who have failed or refused to advise on the risk of using lead batteries in the solar energy system?”

Tenom MP Datuk Raime Unggi
