SHAH ALAM – Petronas is offering additional assistance of RM5,000 and RM2,500 each to homeowners affected by the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, depending on the extent of the house damage, said Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He mentioned that the financial aid of RM5,000 for homes classified as a total loss and RM2,500 for those impacted is in addition to the support previously announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
With this extra funding, he noted that individuals whose homes are deemed a total loss will receive a total of RM10,000, while homeowners with damaged properties or tenants will get RM5,000 each.
“After the registration process closed at 6pm yesterday, there are a total of 613 households from 437 houses registered, meaning there were houses with rooms for rent,” he said.
Amirudin also indicated that the state government will begin distributing the contributions today. – April 7, 2025
