Terengganu local government, housing and health committee deputy chairman Saiful Azmi Suhaili said that as most of the methane gas being channelled throughout the peninsula came from the state, there is a lot of pressure on the state government to ensure gas pipelines are safe.

Authorities say a fireball that erupted from a burst gas pipeline soared into the sky outside Malaysia’s largest city and injured 145 people.

BUTTERWORTH, April 4 (Bernama) -- The Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP) will hold discussions with stakeholders, including Gas Malaysia Berhad (Gas Malaysia) and the Energy Commission (ST), on the need for clear guidelines related to the inspection of gas pipelines in Seberang Perai.
