PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): About 2,000 self-service laundrettes in peninsular Malaysia and Sabah do not have approvals as well as individual gas licences issued by the Energy Commission, and are therefore at risk of explosions.

The commission's deputy director (gas equipment and installation) Shamsuddin Arshad told Bernama that records indicate that so far, only 427 self-service laundrettes have the approval to install (ATI) and operate (ATO), as well as the gas licences, and are also registered with the commission.
