PETALING JAYA: Penduduk di Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru mendesak siasatan tragedi letupan paip gas di Putra Heights, Subang Jaya pada 1 April lalu dilakukan semula.
Menurut mereka, laporan siasatan itu dan juga keputusan tiada tindakan lanjut (NFA) kerana tiada unsur sabotaj dan jenayah berhubung tragedi tersebut sangat mengecewakan dan menimbulkan lebih banyak persoalan.
Setiausaha Pertubuhan Kebajikan Penduduk Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru (KKSB), Mohd. Badly Nordin berkata, keputusan tersebut juga menafikan hak penduduk untuk mendapatkan keadilan selepas kehilangan harta benda dan mengalami trauma mendalam.
“Ramai tercedera, kehilangan rumah dan masih trauma tetapi kami diberitahu tiada tindakan lanjut. Ini sangat mengecewakan dan seolah-olah menutup terus harapan mangsa,” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia.
Tambahnya, mangsa terlibat telah melantik peguam bagi tujuan nasihat perundangan dan tindakan susulan, sekiranya masih tiada penyelesaian sewajarnya daripada pihak berkaitan.
“Kami sudah ada peguam yang bersedia membantu dari segi undang-undang, namun buat masa ini kita memberi ruang untuk proses siasatan dan keputusan selanjutnya sebelum mempertimbangkan langkah seterusnya,” katanya.
Pihak Pertubuhan Kebajikan Penduduk KKSB turut mendesak agar siasatan semula dijalankan oleh pihak penyiasat bebas, selain pendedahan penuh hasil teknikal dan forensik dilakukan bagi memberikan keyakinan kepada masyarakat.
Mereka turut menuntut perlindungan undang-undang kepada saksi dan mangsa, serta meminta penjelasan terbuka kerajaan negeri sebagai badan utama pengurusan bencana untuk menjelaskan perkara tersebut secara terperinci.
Dalam masa sama, mereka mahu kerajaan negeri jelaskan secara telus agihan bantuan pembaikan rumah agar tiada ketidakadilan antara perumahan dan kampung yang terjejas.
“Kami lihat agihan tidak seimbang. Penduduk kampung terima jauh lebih rendah. Ia benar-benar menyentuh hati mangsa yang terjejas,” ujarnya.
Justeru pihak Pertubuhan Kebajikan KKSB menyeru Perdana Menteri, wakil rakyat dan NGO bersama penduduk dalam memperjuangkan keadilan, kerana keadilan yang ditangguh adalah keadilan yang dinafikan. – UTUSAN
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
PETALING JAYA: The Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru Residents’ Welfare Association is calling on the government to revisit the probe findings on the gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights and to appoint an independent body for a transparent, impartial inquiry.
Its secretary, Mohd Badly Nordin said residents were dismayed by the decision to classify the case as “no further action” (NFA), describing it as a blow to transparency and justice for the those affected.
“We are concerned by the decision to classify the case as NFA. It raises questions about the investigation process. We believe a review is necessary. The affected residents deserve clarity and accountability,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The association is calling for an independent commission of inquiry and full disclosure of technical and forensic findings related to the explosion.
It also urged authorities to guarantee legal protection for the residents and witnesses, and to ensure fair and equal distribution of aid to all affected communities, including housing estates and traditional villages.
“Those affected – whether injured, displaced or impacted by the incident – deserve clarity over what happened and whether anyone should be held accountable.”
He added that the Selangor government, which led the disaster response, should clarify how repair assistance was allocated, following concerns over unequal treatment between neighbourhoods.
He said the association will continue advocating for residents’ rights and welfare, and urged open dialogue between authorities, residents and civil society groups.
“We urge the public, elected representatives, MPs, NGOs and other relevant bodies to stand with us and those affected – many of whom are still struggling – in the pursuit of truth and justice. Justice delayed is justice denied.”
On Monday, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said investigations found no evidence of sabotage or negligence behind the pipeline failure and explosion.
He said police together with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health conducted a thorough three-month investigation and ruled out foul play.
Technical analysis revealed the damage had accumulated over time, not from a single event.
It was reported that the pipeline failed at a welding joint that gave way under prolonged pressure. Signs of wear pointed to long-term stress, and friction during the rupture likely produced sparks that ignited the gas.
On Tuesday, Hussein said the case had been officially classified as NFA following the outcome of the criminal investigation.
However, he said the case could be reopened if new evidence or information comes to light.
The explosion occurred in the early hours of April 1 at a Petronas gas pipeline in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, triggering a massive blaze visible from several kilometres away.
The fire and shockwave caused widespread destruction as 81 homes suffered structural damage exceeding 40%, another 81 were partially damaged and 57 were affected without fire.
A total of 218 homes were reported to be unaffected, including those in nearby Kampung Tengah, Puchong.
