Residents want closure, not another inquiry

Moving forward: Houses in Taman Putra Harmoni still being rebuilt one year after the Putra Heights gas pipeline fire. Instead of another inquiry, many residents urgently need practical recovery, faster resolutions and long-term community restoration. – ART CHEN/The Star

I READ with interest the letter by Chin Yew Sin calling for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) into the Putra Heights gas pipeline incident, “Ensuring safety calls for political will to take action” (The Star, May 7).

As one of the many residents whose lives changed on April 1 last year, I understand why questions continue to be raised and why comparisons are being made with past industrial incidents. Like many others, I am also aware that the Selangor state government had formed a special investigation committee following the tragedy. Until today, the full findings remain unclear to many of us.
