KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) fully supports the Human Resources Ministry’s call for employers to grant paid compassionate leave and consider flexible work arrangements for employees affected by the recent gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights.
President Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman emphasised the incident’s significant impact on the community and urged employers to act with empathy and responsibility.
“MEF acknowledges that many affected employees are facing distress due to personal loss, displacement, and concerns for their families’ well-being.
“Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to adopt compassionate policies that support their employees while maintaining business continuity,” he said in a statement today.
He also highlighted that Section 60P of the Employment Act 1955 provides flexibility in working hours, workdays, and work locations, allowing employers to make necessary adjustments to accommodate employees’ needs in exceptional circumstances.
Syed Hussain also urged businesses to take proactive steps, such as providing mental health support and counseling services for distressed employees, as well as ensuring clear communication and support channels for those in need.
“MEF commends private sector employers who have already taken steps to support their affected employees and encourages businesses of all sizes to consider these measures as part of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments,” he said.
Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) confirmed that the blaze, which broke out at 8.10 am on Tuesday, occurred at the main Petronas Gas Bhd pipeline.
It took nearly eight hours to fully extinguish the blaze, which left a crater approximately 9.8 metres deep and 21 by 24 metres in size.
Fire and Rescue Department director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad reported that 237 houses were damaged, affecting 305 people.

PUTRA HEIGHTS: A mother’s bravery enabled her to save her two young children from a devastating fire that engulfed her home following the gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights.
Masayuan Takbir, 38, recounted the terrifying moments when she strove to escape with her 9-year-old daughter and 2 years 8 month-old son who both rely on asthma medication.
Recalling the moments before the explosion, Masayuan said she heard an unusual sound but dismissed it. As she was about to sit down to rest, a sudden tremor shook her home. Moments later, a deafening blast erupted, engulfing the area in flames.
“I immediately woke up my children. I told my daughter to open the main door so we could escape, but it wouldn’t budge. We tried the kitchen door and another exit, but everything was jammed.”
It took her three desperate attempts before she managed to force open the kitchen door.
They ran barefoot to safety, heading towards a nearby riverbank. In the chaos, her children’s asthma medication fell on the road.
“My daughter was worried because she and her brother need their medicine. I told her our safety comes first, but I knew I had to retrieve it.”
Despite the flames, Masayuan ran back towards the road to recover the medication. As she bent to pick it up, a second explosion sent a wave of heat and debris towards her.
“I felt my back burning, and stones rained down on me. I could barely breathe as I crawled back to my children.”
She urged them to keep running towards safety. When she finally caught up with them, she realised the danger was not over yet.
“My son’s hand was badly burned. My daughter, exhausted and overwhelmed by the heat, told me she couldn’t go on. I reminded her that we had to stay strong and keep moving,” she said, adding that they chanted prayers together for strength.
Despite reaching what seemed like a safe spot, they continued feeling the heat from the fire. With the help of a kind stranger, they made their way towards the riverbank, hoping that the water would offer some relief.
Although physically injured and emotionally shaken, Masayuan is grateful they made it out alive.
“The fire destroyed so much, but I thank God that my children and I survived,” she said, still reeling from the traumatic ordeal.
The explosion left them with severe burns. Masayuan suffered third-degree burns on her back and arms. She will need to return to Hospital Putrajaya for further treatment, with the possibility of needing skin grafts.
Her son sustained deep burns on his hand while her daughter suffered minor burns and was treated for exhaustion and smoke inhalation. All three are staying at the temporary relief centre at Masjid Putra Heights.
