In response to queries about the initial omission of information regarding the oil spill's potential spread, Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat emphasized that their immediate priority on 14 June was preventing further leakage from the damaged vessel. He highlighted the time-consuming deployment of containment booms, emphasizing that their purpose was preventive rather than to confine spilled oil.
