SEPANG: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will set up mobile counters at the Putra Heights gas pipeline explosion site on Thursday (April 3) to assist affected residents with services such as document printing, says Anthony Loke.
The Transport Minister said that the JPJ mobile team would help victims over the two days, including printing essential documents like driving licences and road tax.
"We will also arrange for representatives from the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) to be on-site to provide consultations for the victims," he said after the British Airways inaugural flight to KL International Airport Terminal 1 on Wednesday (April 2).
The gas pipeline fire at Jalan Putra Harmoni, Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, on Tuesday (April 1) caused 148 cars and 11 motorcycles to be damaged.
Loke also confirmed that the government had signed an agreement last week with Ocean Infinity to resume the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
"Yes, the agreement was signed last week," he said.
He explained that the current season is not suitable for the search, and operations will only resume at the end of the year.
When asked by the media whether this renewed search would lead to the discovery of MH370’s wreckage, Loke said it would depend on the search efforts.
Regarding the impact of the Myanmar earthquake on Malaysia, Loke stated that flights and transportation were not significantly affected.
"Apart from some flight delays on certain days, no flights in Malaysia were cancelled.
"Operations have been running as usual over the past few days, and I have not seen any major impact from the Myanmar earthquake on our country," he added.
