    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I totally agree with you. I appreciate the efforts of the team that recovered the 18 drums. You can imagine the situation that would have been there. Although it is not within the purview or mandate of our Committee but the Committee on Delegated Legislation, it is important for this House to pronounce itself on these matters to the Attorney- General to release the regulations that will start the implementation of safety of such kind of hazardous chemicals or materials. Again, there are regulations that are at the Attorney-General’s Office. If they find their way to the Committee on Delegated Legislation, Parliament can fast-track and advise on it. We are users of that road. Whenever there are important materials that are being transported, there is always some security guarding the truck, which is also important. On the issue of compensation, in case the toxic material lands in the wrong hands and the public is affected, there is no formula. However, we will ask the Ministry to give further clarification on some of these issues, particularly the tracing of the five drums which were not recovered."
