600 fish die at Langkawi Underwater World

By SIRA HABIBU

LANGKAWI: About 600 fish worth hundreds of thousands of ringgit have mysteriously died at Langkawi Underwater World.

Police believe the fish, which included sharks and stingrays, were poisoned. They have also not ruled out sabotage as the fish started dying en masse just before closing time at 6pm on Monday.

Among the sharks that died were the black teeth, white teeth, leopard and nurse sharks.

Yesterday morning hundreds of fish carcasses were floating in the hexagonal and tunnel tanks at the old wing of the UWL. Fish in five smaller tanks were also not spared. 

UWL workers managed to save about 30 fish in the smaller tanks.

Deputy general manager Mohd Hafizuddin Abdullah said the fish died quite fast, without any obvious sign of distress.

“We did not see them wriggling in water before dying. 

“Samples including water and carcasses have been taken for chemical analysis,” he said when contacted yesterday.

Mohd Hafizuddin said a thorough investigation was being carried out. 

“Among the oldest fish that has died was a nurse shark that is about 12 years old,” he added.

He said the freshwater and marine life section at UWL has been temporarily closed to visitors to facilitate the investigation.

UWL houses 4,000 animals and sea creatures in 100 specially designed tanks. 

UWL worker Malik Azmin said he felt sad to see the carcasses floating in the tank. 

*lets hope the saboteur is not a licensed diver. if not, mati la all fish in the sea kena poison!!

Anger bubbles over work of vandals

http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Monday/National/20070924072613/Article/index_html

MALACCA: Bubbles were flying all over the place at the Bukit Sebukor waterfall yesterday.

Vandals had poured shampoo into the man-made waterfall, which is part of efforts to turn Malacca into a garden city.

This resulted in large bubbles flying around as early as 8am - and even obstructing the view of motorists nearby.

"This is not funny. We've worked hard to ensure the beauty of the historic city and this act of vandalism is something we take seriously," said Malacca city mayor Datuk Zaini Md Nor.

He said city council workers took about three hours to clean the waterfall, a task they had to do when vandals struck for the first time in February.

"We found a bottle of shampoo in the pool with its cap open and there was some liquid left in the bottle.

"We opened the park and waterfall to the public for recreational purposes but some irresponsible people have been damaging the waterfall, the plants and lights.

"There have even been instances when we have found used diapers in the pool," he said, adding that the public should report acts of vandalism to the authorities.

Like what? Let's say if it's one of the staff who has a grudge with the supervisor or the company itself, it's a cruel way to show his/her revenge - by killing the fishes.

curah racun dalam tangki
Oleh Hamzah Osman
am@hmetro.com.my

LANGKAWI: Perbuatan khianat. Itulah nasib lebih 600 ikan pelbagai spesies, termasuk jerung dan pari di Underwater World Langkawi (UWL) di Pantai Chenang di sini yang mati dipercayai diracun, petang semalam.

Kejadian itu mengejutkan kira-kira 90 kakitangan UWL, malah ada yang menitiskan air mata sebaik melihat ikan terbabit mati terapung dalam tujuh tangki.

Kematian ikan terbabit yang dianggarkan bernilai puluhan juta ringgit itu disedari pengawal keselamatan pusat pelancongan berkenaan kira-kira jam 6.30 petang.

Ketua Polis Langkawi, Superintendan Mohamed Ali Jamaludin, berkata pihaknya percaya kejadian yang pertama kali berlaku di tempat tumpuan ribuan pelancong setiap hari itu berpunca perbuatan khianat membabitkan sekurang-kurangnya dua suspek.


Katanya, siasatan awal mendapati ikan terbabit mati dipercayai kerana air dalam tangki terbabit dicemari sejenis bahan kimia.


Beliau berkata, dua suspek itu dikatakan melakukan perbuatan jahat mereka jam 5 petang sebelum sejumlah ikan mula dilihat terapung oleh pengawal keselamatan UWL satu setengah jam kemudian.

“Polis menemui beberapa bahan bukti, termasuk sejenis bahan kimia dengan baunya hampir menyamai petrol dipercayai digunakan suspek untuk meracun ikan terbabit.

“Bahan kimia itu dipercayai dibawa masuk ke pekarangan UWL dan dicurahkan ke dalam tangki terbabit menerusi pintu belakang,” katanya pada sidang media bersama pengurusan UWL di pusat pelancongan itu, petang semalam.

Hadir sama, Pegawai Daerah Langkawi, Mansor Ismail dan Timbalan Pengurus Besar UWL, Mohd Hafizuddin Abdullah.

Mohamed Ali berkata, pihaknya masih meneruskan siasatan memburu suspek.

Mengulas kejadian itu, Mohd Hafizuddin menganggarkan lebih 600 ikan daripada 30 hingga 50 spesies terbaik di dunia mati.

Antara ikan yang mati itu ialah jerung, pari, kerapu dan kerepoh yang berusia antara 10 hingga 12 tahun dan seberat antara 10 hingga 20 kilogram setiap seekor.

“Dua tangki utama yang terbabit dalam kejadian itu menempatkan kira-kira 50 spesies yang menjadi tarikan pelancong. Secara keseluruhannya, kami memiliki lebih 100 tangki yang menempatkan lebih 4,000 haiwan laut.

“Operasi UWL tidak terjejas kerana kami hanya menutup operasi sebahagian saja, manakala pengunjung masih boleh melawat Penguin African dan Rockhopper serta beberapa spesies ikan dalam tangki kecil,” katanya.

Beliau bersyukur kerana ikan arapaima dan penyu yang juga antara tarikan utama pelancong terselamat kerana ia ditempatkan dalam tangki berlainan.

Katanya, polis sedang membuat siasatan selepas UWL membuat laporan polis tengah hari tadi.

No wonder sharks died. Teeth also never brush properly.

Wouldn't spearfishing, fishing, trawling within marine parks fit into the category of SABOTAGE?

my gut feeling tell me it must be a insider act. Who else can have access to the tank. It reminds me about the MAS wiring cut case again. Come on lar, if you are unhappy or whatever, just quit......... should get that Baxxxxd canned that have pour sea water over the wound.  :angry4: :angry4: :angry4:
