PUTRAJAYA – A preliminary report received by the Energy Commission (ST) has revealed that the recent gas leak at the Light Rail Transit (LRT) 3 construction site in Shah Alam is linked to construction work there.

The ST said however that the real cause could only be ascertained once investigations are completed, adding that it would also cooperate with all parties to ensure the safety of residents in the area.

The commission said an investigation was ongoing to identify the actual cause after it was informed of the incident on April 13 and that Gas Malaysia Distribution Sdn Bhd, as the licence holder, was responsible for taking immediate action to rectify the situation.

“Repairs are being carried out and the ST has been informed that there were no casualties nor any disruption of gas supply to customers following the incident,” it said in a statement today.

The public can immediately channel complaints via ST’s eAduan complaint system at www.st.gov.my, call 03-8870 8800, or email to [email protected]. – Bernama, April 25, 2021
