In addition to polluting the environment, the waste also damaged the marine ecosystem.
Fishermen from Batam are now also reluctant to do fishing because they are worried about the dangerous waste.
According to Nasir Harun, a member of the Permanent Commission on Maritime Affairs and Fisheries at the Riau Islands Chamber of Commerce, such occurrences happen almost every year.
The waste, used oil from Singaporean tankers, is often dumped without being processed into the sea.
Kota Besar Barelang Police Department is investigating the case.
