KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas has expressed its commitment to working closely with the relevant ministries and agencies to channel timely and meaningful support to the families impacted by the fire near Putra Heights in Puchong, Selangor.
In a statement late yesterday, the national oil firm said its publicly listed subsidiary, Petronas Gas Bhd, which owns the affected pipeline, would be working closely with government authorities and agencies to assess the full impact of the incident.
It said the group was also proactively taking all necessary measures to preserve the security of the gas supply.
“To this end, the team is working hard to mitigate disruptions, implement contingency plans, and restore operations as safely and efficiently as possible in coordination with the relevant authorities and agencies.
“As stated by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during his visit to the location of the incident, we will be actively coordinating with the relevant ministries as well as state and federal agencies to ensure that adequate relief efforts and assistance are extended and meaningful support is deployed during this very difficult time,” it said.
Petronas said its priorities were ensuring the safety of the people, fulfilling its commitment to assisting those affected, and preserving the security of the gas supply while investigating the cause of the incident.
It also confirmed that the three petrol stations near the vicinity of the incident, PS Putra Heights, PS KM2 LDP, and PS Putra Bestari, had resumed operations following clearance from the relevant authorities.
“While these stations were not directly affected, they were temporarily closed as a precautionary measure, in line with our safety protocols, and reopened after thorough safety assessments.
“Petronas reaffirms its continuing commitment to safety in all of its operations and will continue to provide updates from time to time as more information becomes available.
“At this juncture, we appeal for the cooperation and patience of all impacted parties as we work as quickly as possible to address this situation,” it said. - FMT
