SUBANG JAYA: The cause of the gas pipeline fire has yet to be identified, says Fire and Rescue Department director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohamad.
This comes amid claims that the fire was caused by construction work near the pipeline. "It is too early to say," he told reporters here.
"An investigation will be conducted by all the relevant agencies led by the Police and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health," he said.
He said more information would be divulged once the investigation was completed. "There are many statements being made following this incident, but we cannot verify these claims yet," he said.
Earlier today, a massive fire broke out at a Petronas gas pipeline in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, causing widespread panic as flames shot up in the air.
The heat from the flames — visible from kilometres away — were said to have melted plastic and metal located within a wide radius of the pipeline.
The fire was reported to have been accompanied by several explosions that shook the ground. The flames set off fires in several houses as the pipeline is located near residential areas.
There were also reports that several people were trapped in burning houses, even as the authorities began evacuating residents from the nearby areas.
More than 100 people have been injured so far and are being treated at hospitals and a temporary medical base at the Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple.
Dozens of firemen are still battling the flames in an attempt to prevent it from spreading.
The valve for the gas has been shut off, and the fire is only expected to be extinguished later today once the remaining gas in the pipeline runs out.
The Selangor Disaster Management Unit has activated a temporary evacuation centre at Putra Heights to assist residents, while traffic along the Elite Highway has been diverted.
KUALA LUMPUR: The people of quake-hit Myanmar have flooded the comments section of a Facebook post by the Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Smart) to thank the Malaysian government for sending the specialist rescue unit.
A 50-member Smart team has been deployed to Myanmar after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocked the country late on Friday, just two days before the major holiday of Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Malaysia.
Myanmar nationals expressed gratitude to the Malaysian government for sending the Smart team and for the team's efforts working through Hari Raya.
The Facebook post detailed that the team managed to recover two bodies under the rubble during a nine-hour operation from 9am to 6pm yesterday.
Facebook user Thomas KD commented on the post saying "Thank you so much for coming to Myanmar to help, instead of celebrating Hari Raya with your family. May God bless you and your entire family."
While most comments were positive, a number of them were worried that the military junta in control of Myanmar would disrupt the efficiency of the operations.
"We are grateful for the humanitarian aid for Myanmar's earthquake victims. However, since the recipient on Myanmar's side is the military junta, we are deeply concerned that the aid will not effectively reach the people who are truly in need," user Thi Ha Naing Zaw said.
Another user Hsu May Nwe said: "So much appreciation. How kind of them. Shame about our military, we also worry about the safety of all of you."
About 2,000 people have so far been reported dead following Friday's earthquake.
To date, China, India, the United States, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, Russia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the Philippines and Taiwan.
