JOHOR BAHRU: The report by an independent committee on the gas pipeline explosion incident in Putra Heights last year has been submitted to the federal government, Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said.
“We are now just waiting for feedback. If there is feedback, I will submit it to the public,” he told reporters here. Amirudin said the report would be released to the public after obtaining permission from the federal government.
Amirudin said the report would be a basis to avoid further such incidents, and allow follow-up steps to be taken.
Eight people with professional qualifications in related fields were appointed to the independent committee, which is chaired by Dr Khamarrul Azahari Razak, a senior research fellow at Universiti Teknoloji Malaysia.
The Putra Heights explosion on April 1 last year destroyed 87 houses, and damaged 148 others. More than 1,200 people from 300 families were affected.
