SEREMBAN:
The Negeri Sembilan government will hold a meeting with Gas Malaysia and Petronas to initiate a study on the safety of gas pipelines in the state, said menteri besar Aminuddin Harun.

He said the public works department confirmed both companies were responsible for managing the two main gas pipelines in the state.

“No decision has been made yet as both (Petronas and Gas Malaysia) are focussing on the situation in Selangor.

“The study will not just involve the safety aspects of gas pipelines. Other utility routes, such as drainage pipes, telecommunications cables, and water pipelines, will also be given due attention,” he told reporters after the district-level Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration here.

Aminuddin conveyed his sympathy to the victims of the Putra Heights gas pipeline fire and expressed hope for effective solutions.

He said the state government, through NGOs and its agencies, had provided humanitarian assistance to the victims to ease their burden.
