KUALA LUMPUR, 7 APRIL 2025 – PETRONAS Gas Berhad (PGB) is unwavering in its commitment to provide meaningful support to the individuals and families affected by the recent gas pipeline fire near Putra Heights, Subang Jaya as parts of its efforts to alleviate the challenges faced by the community.
Following the incident, PGB activated its crisis and emergency response teams and swiftly mobilised resources, including volunteers from amongst its employees who were some of the first to assist the Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) at the Pusat Pemindahan Sementara (PPS). These relief centres were established to provide safe, interim shelter for individuals and families who were relocated from their homes.
From Day-1 to date, over 100 staff have volunteered to manage the food distribution at the PPS. PGB also provides approximately 1,000 packs of food daily for those impacted at the relief centres and frontliners on-site.
Prioritising safety and the well-being of the affected communities, PGB has voluntarily been working closely with identified hospitals and Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) to facilitate the medical needs of the victims receiving emergency treatment. PGB is also collaborating with the Federal and State governments in channelling aid to ease the burden of those impacted by the incident.
PGB is also working with Jabatan Pengurusan Bencana Negeri (JPBN) on further assistance such as transit housing post-PPS for those needing longer-term accommodation. For the affected communities facing total or partial loss to their properties, PGB, in collaboration with Prihatin Selangor, has distributed more than RM 700,000 in monetary aid. Each household will receive either RM 5,000 or RM 2,500, depending on the extent of their property loss.
Other PETRONAS Group entities, namely PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad and Yayasan PETRONAS also contributed care packs containing supplies to meet the general needs of the displaced individuals and families.
PGB is committed in supporting the government towards community rebuilding initiatives, while cooperating fully with relevant authorities to determine the cause of the incident. Its top priorities remain ensuring public safety, and that of its operations while maintaining the nation’s gas supply security.
