MIRI: Extensive checks should be carried out to make sure there is no gas leakage on the offshore petroleum platform that was damaged in Tuesday's (Oct 27) incident when a maintenance ship, the Dayang Topaz, hit it in rough weather, says a Sarawak politician.

State deputy speaker and Mulu state assemblyman Datuk Gerawat Gala said while it was good to hear that no oil spills had been detected so far, checks must be carried out to detect if there were any gas leaks.
