Blast rips Sabah-Sarawak gas pipeline


MIRI: A fiery blast ripped apart a section of the Sabah-Sarawak interstate gas pipeline located in between Lawas town and Long Sukang in the northernmost district of Sarawak, resulting in the temporary shutdown of the RM4bil project owned by national oil giant Petronas.

The explosion at about 2am shattered the early morning silence and many residents around the blast area jumped out of bed in shock to see the fire just kilometres away.
