KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas Gas Berhad (PetGas) has pledged concrete safety enhancements and closer public engagement following the release of official findings into the April 1 pipeline explosion in Putra Heights.
The company said it has deployed substantial resources to safeguard public safety and maintain uninterrupted gas supply, while pledging full transparency and continued cooperation with the Special Taskforce and other relevant authorities.
"We fully recognise the public concerns surrounding the safety of the pipeline system, especially with the continuity of gas flow through the network," the company said in a statement today.
The peninsular gas utilisation system, a backbone of Malaysia's energy infrastructure, is now undergoing enhanced safety scrutiny, with PetGas highlighting its built-in resilience features developed over more than three decades of operations.
"Our systems and people are working continuously to ensure secure and reliable gas delivery to homes, industries, and the nation's power sector," it added.
PetGas said it is prioritising long-term safety upgrades and community support in Putra Heights, although it did not elaborate on specific remedial actions.
With over 30 years of experience in gas infrastructure and utilities, PetGas operates four integrated businesses, namely gas processing, transportation, regasification and utilities.
