'This is one of the terms of reference, or duties, of that special committee which will look into legal frameworks that can be enforced. 'The legal aspects could take various forms. It could be by-laws, new terms and conditions under the one-stop centre, state enactments, or even federal-level legislation.' Amirudin said this after witnessing the signing of two memoranda of cooperation with three strategic partners – Universiti Selangor, Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre, and Central Spectrum (M) Sdn Bhd – to strengthen efforts to develop the state's water industry ecosystem. Yesterday, Amirudin announced that Selangor would establish a special committee to assess the full investigation report on the incident and draft long-term preventive measures, including proposing new regulations to ensure that similar incidents do not recur. The committee will include representatives from the state and federal governments, Petronas, and the relevant technical agencies.
