Siblings scalded by chemical used to clear clogged drain pipe

KUALA LUMPUR: Two siblings were scalded when they came into contact with a chemical used by their neighbour to clean a clogged drain pipe on Jan 31.

Serdang district police chief ACP A.A. Anbalagan said that in the incident at around 9.30pm in an apartment in Seri Kembangan, a nine-year-old boy suffered severe burns on his head and body while his seven-year-old sister suffered burns on her thigh.

He said the children's mother heard the sound of an explosion and the screams of her son, who was in the kitchen, and realised that her two children had been in contact with a liquid believed to be soda powder acid from the drainage pipe of the top floor of her apartment unit.
