The national headlines of toxic gas poisoning incidents affecting thousands of innocent schoolchildren in Pasir Gudang, not once but twice, back to back in March and June of 2019, shocked the Malaysian public. Calls from many quarters demanded immediate action by the government to find and close down the source of the gases, to treat the affected victims, to catch and charge the culprits, and to stop recurrence of the tragedy in the future. The Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) Task Force on Sungai Kim Kim and Pasir Gudang Incidents was formed with the support of the Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) to investigate the source of the toxic gases and to recommend steps to prevent recurrence in the future.
