Gas Malaysia resumes full supply after Putra Heights pipeline incident

GAS Malaysia Bhd said that full gas supply operations have resumed at the Shah Alam and Batu Tiga City Gate stations, following the lifting of curtailments imposed after a transmission pipeline explosion in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the utility company said it received official confirmation from its gas supplier that curtailments were lifted on July 1, 2025.
“Gas supply operations have resumed in accordance with the quantities stipulated in the respective Gas Supply Agreements with the customers,” the company said.
The restoration follows a fire incident in March that led to the evacuation of hundreds of residents and temporary disruptions in gas delivery.
On Monday, the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), which led the technical investigation, concluded that the explosion was caused by weak underground support beneath a section of the pipeline.
Although the pipeline met technical specifications, DOSH said the ground in that area was soft and moist, and could not adequately bear the weight and pressure of the pipe.
“This led to a physical failure in the pipeline, eventually causing a gas leak that sparked the fire,” the agency said.
DOSH also clarified that the failure was not due to surface-level activity but stemmed from unstable subsoil conditions. — TMR
