Lawmakers to be briefed on Putra Heights explosion


SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government has scheduled a briefing for MPs and state assemblymen to explain the gas pipeline explosion incident in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the decision to hold the special briefing on Monday, open to both government and opposition lawmakers, was made during a pre-council meeting with state assemblymen on Thursday.

“I have also requested the state assembly Speaker to allow the state government to provide an explanation on the matter during the upcoming Selangor state assembly session.

“The state government upholds the principles of responsibility, transparency and accountability, and fully honours the mandate and trust of the people,” Amirudin said in a Facebook post yesterday.

The second meeting of the third session of the 15th Selangor legislative assembly will convene from July 7 to 18, Bernama reported.

On June 30, Selangor police announced that no element of mischief, sabotage or negligence was identified as the cause of the gas pipeline blast.
