RAWANG: The oil spill which caused water shortage throughout major areas in Selangor was found to be intentional, said the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) today.
The owner of the factory which discarded an estimated two tanks of oil into Sungai Gong directly adjacent to the entrance, was found to be a former rubbish contractor for the MPS.
