KOTA BHARU, 26 Mei - Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) Kelantan menerima empat unit pam air berkapasiti tinggi sebagai langkah kesiapsiagaan menghadapi musim jerebu dan kebakaran terbuka.
Pengarahnya, Farhan Sufyan Borhan berkata pam air yang diterima pada hujung tahun lalu itu membantu memperkukuh keupayaan operasi pemadaman di kawasan yang dikenal pasti sering terlibat dalam kebakaran terbuka setiap tahun.
Katanya, pam tersebut direka khusus untuk operasi kebakaran hutan dan tanah gambut yang memerlukan bekalan air dalam kuantiti besar dan tekanan tinggi.
"Pada akhir tahun 2024 kita telah menerima pump untuk kesiapsiagaan kita untuk menghadapi musim jerebu, kita terima empat pump kapasiti besar untuk fokus kebakaran api hutan," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas Majlis Perhimpunan Bulanan JBPM Kelantan di Tunjong, di sini.
Farhan Sufyan berkata, empat unit pam air berkapasiti tinggi tersebut ditempatkan di empat balai utama yang mencatatkan jumlah panggilan kebakaran terbuka tertinggi, iaitu di Bachok, Tunjong, Pasir Puteh serta Tanah Merah.
Tambahnya, penempatan pam air itu juga merupakan sebahagian daripada persiapan rapi JBPM Kelantan menjelang musim panas dan jerebu yang dijangka bermula antara Julai hingga September meskipun tumpuan ramalan jerebu tertumpu di kawasan Pantai Barat.
KUCHING (May 26): The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued a warning for thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds in most parts of Sarawak until 7pm today.
In a notice issued at 3.50pm, the department said the affected areas are Kuching, Serian, Samarahan, Sri Aman, Sibu, Kapit (Song and Kapit), Bintulu (Tatau and Sebauh), Miri (Beluru and Marudi) dan Limbang.
Similar weather conditions have also been forecasted in Sabah, particularly at interior (Sipitang, Tenom, Beaufort and Nabawan), west coast (Tuaran, Ranau and Kota Belud), Tawau (Kunak and Lahad Datu) and Sandakan (Tongod, Telupid, Kinabatangan and Beluran).
PETRONAS Gas Bhd (PetGas) said the gas pipeline fire that occurred on April 1 is expected to result in a total financial impact of RM170 million, with RM60 million expected to hit the group’s earnings in its financial year ending Dec 31, 2025 (FY25).
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the group said the bulk of the costs will be recognised as capital expenditure, while a portion is expected to be recovered through insurance claims.
“The RM60 million impact to profit comprises both the cost of repairs and the loss of revenue,” the group stated.
The estimates are based on the current site condition and extent of damage, but PetGas cautioned that they may be revised following the outcome of an official investigation.
“In light of the recent incident, the group is further strengthening its risk management and mitigation frameworks to ensure continuity, resilience and sustainability across its operations,” it said.
In a separate announcement, PetGas said it posted a net profit of RM468.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25), up 2.6% from a year earlier, mainly due to higher contributions from joint ventures, which benefited from increased repair and maintenance activities.
Quarterly revenue, however, slipped 1.5% to RM1.6 billion, primarily due to lower tariffs charged under the incentive-based regulation (IBR) framework.
Under this regime, energy companies are required to pass on cost savings — such as reduced gas consumption — to customers in the form of lower tariffs.
The company noted that its pipeline network remained “almost 100% reliable” during the quarter, underscoring the resilience of its core infrastructure.
Looking ahead, PetGas expects a stable operational and financial performance for FY2025, despite the April pipeline incident.
“All main business segments are expected to remain robust and continue contributing to the group’s earnings,” it said.
The group declared a first interim dividend of 16 sen per share for the quarter. — TMR
