Malaysia is also very concerned about the serious harm caused by Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge to its sea area, and has been monitoring the sea area under its jurisdiction since October 1 this year. Fortunately, the radiation level in Malaysia's waters has not risen since Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant began discharging treated water into the Pacific Ocean on August 24.
Malaysia's Science Minister Cheng Likang said in response to a question in the upper house of parliament on December 4 that the results of monitoring from the gamma-ray spectrum underwater monitoring station in Malaysian waters from October 1 to November 30 showed that the radiation level in the sea was normal. It is believed that the people of Malaysia do not have to worry about eating seafood for the time being.
This continuous monitoring of radiation levels by various countries also shows that although Japan has always claimed that the discharge of nuclear wastewater meets international safety standards, neighboring countries are still very concerned about serious nuclear contamination of their waters. Malaysian people have also held many demonstrations** Japan discharges nuclear wastewater, and the Malaysian Ministry of Health also said that it will not compromise on food safety, especially after Japan announced the discharge of nuclear wastewater, "high-risk" food imported from Japan into Malaysia must undergo food safety level 4 strict testing to screen for radioactive elements.
Malaysia is far away from Japan, maybe more than three months and more than 90 days, Japan's nuclear wastewater has not yet reached Malaysian waters, of course, we do not want nuclear wastewater to reach and pollute the waters of any country, but once the level of nuclear radiation in the monitoring sea exceeds the standard, then our lives will change dramatically, which no one wants to see.
