Putra Heights inferno highlights risks of fossil gas dependency, claim NGOs

A joint statement issued by RimbaWatch and Greenpeace Malaysia, part of a coalition of 21 non-governmental organisations (NGOs), said these incidents not only highlight concerns about air quality but also pose a direct threat to energy security.
