Safety standards for cooking gas cylinders


IN Malaysia, explosions from gas leaks at home have resulted in numerous injuries and deaths over the years. The latest incident, which occurred last month, involved a doctor who is now battling for his life after a blast left 95% of his body covered in burns.

According to a doctor, gas explosions are currently one of the most common reasons for admission into the nation’s hospital burns units. And due to the complexity and severity of the cases, the majority have to be managed in government hospitals as they require high intensive care.
