Selangor Lawmakers To Receive Briefing On Putra Heights Gas Explosion

KLANG, July 6 (Bernama) -- A special briefing session for all members of Parliament and state assemblymen (ADUN) in Selangor regarding the recent gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights will be held after the conclusion of the first day of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting tomorrow.

Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari stated that the session will be conducted by the technical investigation committee, comprising representatives from the police and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH).

“The objective is to ensure that all elected representatives clearly understand the facts of the incident and do not form their assumptions,” he told reporters after launching the Plastic-Free Campaign 2025 Series 2 here today.

“The briefing will be held after tomorrow’s sitting as most of the issues involved are technical. Once briefed, the matter can be brought up and debated in the state assembly,” he added.

Also present was state Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin.

The Second Meeting of the Third Session of the 15th Selangor State Legislative Assembly will be held from July 7 to 18.

On June 30, the Selangor police chief, in a special press conference regarding the Putra Heights incident, stated that no elements of sabotage, foul play or negligence were found in connection with the underground Petronas gas pipeline explosion in Subang Jaya on April 1.

Following the findings, the state government formed a special committee to review the full investigation report and propose appropriate follow-up actions.

The committee will also consult various stakeholders, including federal agencies, particularly in areas related to disaster management and public communication surrounding the incident.
