Did you know that your wrist watch can be up to 8 times dirtier than a toilet?

Tests by a British watchmaker, found that watches have a worrying amount of bacteria, yeast, and mould, because we don't clean them as often as we should.

Fitness watches are the dirtiest, while the least dirty was a man's watch with a leather strap.

It says for people who wear a watch every day, you should give it a good clean at least once a month.

The pollution in Pasir Gudang, Johor is linked to the previous chemical waste dumping incident near Sungai Kim Kim.

The Housing and Local Government Ministry says this is based on the Fire and Rescue Dept's investigations. 

The probe found that the chemical waste at Sungai Kim Kim was not thoroughly cleaned, and bad weather caused it to spread.

Dozens of people had to be hospitalised due to the latest incident, and several schools were forced to close.
