GEORGE TOWN, Nov 10 — The Penang Department of Environment (DOE) has launched an investigation into a suspected pollution incident in the waters near the Floating Mosque in Tanjung Bungah, following the circulation of images showing brown streaks in the area on social media. 

According to DOE director Norazizi Adinan, the department has called on the State Fisheries Department and the Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority (LKIM) to assist in the investigation.
