Putra Heights fire: Technical report by June 26 - MB

The technical report on the gas pipeline explosion and fire at Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, on April 1, is expected to be completed by June 26.

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari said reports will need to be aligned before being made public.

“We cannot release our criminal investigation now because we need to combine it with the technical investigation, as there are still areas that need to be identified from the criminal investigation,” he said when met after an e-bike handover ceremony at the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam, today.

He said the technical investigation under the Occupational Safety and Health Department (Dosh) also covers the integrity of the pipes, ground movement, and whether activities in the area exerted pressure on the pipeline.

On May 27, Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said reports by the police and Dosh are expected to be released by the end of June.

He said the police investigation, which also covered aspects of negligence or sabotage, had been completed, and they are waiting for Dosh to complete their investigation.

The Petronas gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights at 8.10am saw flames reaching heights of over 30m with temperatures reaching 1,000 degrees Celsius, taking nearly eight hours to extinguish, and causing a 9.8m-deep crater at the site.
