Putra Heights inferno: Dewan Camelia relief centre less crowded, quieter, says evacuees


SUBANG JAYA: In contrast to the busy atmosphere at the temporary evacuation centre in the multipurpose hall of Masjid Putra Heights, the 109 evacuees from 27 families who have been placed at Dewan Camelia, the multipurpose hall run by Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) say they are having a more peaceful time.

“It’s quieter and more peaceful here because there are not so many evacuees, unlike Masjid Putra Heights, where I heard that 379 victims were being housed,” said Jasni Abd Manap, 46, whose house and three motorcycles were destroyed in the Putra Heights gas line explosion on Tuesday (April 1).
