She said this was due to the frozen and thick oil residue, which requires manual scooping for removal.
: Oil spill cleanup operations following an accident involving a tanker carrying palm oil at KM27.9 of the Karak Highway heading toward Kuala Lumpur yesterday will be completed by late this evening.
“Four vacuum tankers from IWK have been deployed to suction the oil residue from the highway’s sump, while manual cleanup is also underway to expedite the process,” she said in a statement today. Jamaliah explained that LUAS subsequently coordinated the cleanup at the site through appointed contractors and directed the tanker’s company to undertake the work, including scooping out the frozen oil residue from the drainage and highway sump.
