Taking to TikTok, this netizen shared how a crude palm oil spill in Port Klang affected the waterways due to a leakage in the factory’s pipes.
Turning the waterway orange, men can be seen plunging themselves into the river and pumping out spilt oil.
Taking to the comments section, here is what we found out about the situation.
Apparently, a pipe burst caused the oil spill. The oil can’t be used as it is still considered crude oil. In due time, the oil may solidify and it will have a much bigger impact on the ecosystem.

Here are some choice comments that were left behind in the TikTok post by Malaysians.
“A drum of CPO is around RM300++.”
“Won’t it affect their skin? CPO is used for cooking oil, cosmetics and soap, so it is not harmful to the skin.”
Let’s hope that the cleanup will get underway soon.
