When things go 'boom'
The Putra Heights gas explosion on the second day of Raya had felt surreal to me. Had thought it was AI, but too many people shared the same images from different angles, and eventually it made the official news. Condolences to those who lost their belongings and/ or sustained injuries in the incident.
Who's to blame? In the events that follow, it was reported that the Selangor State Government with the assistance from Petronas and the Federal Government has/ have offered compensation to the victims as the latter assess/ recover/ repair what's left of their belongings.
The bigger question is: who did the digging into prohibited territory, and who gave the approval for the work to widen the road hence encroaching into the gas pipeline area? How I wish that someone would whistle-blow the details to smithereens.. and when that day comes, justice will be served. Maybe that day would never come, or maybe one fine day the details will see the light of day.
Moral of the story: do not buy/ rent a house near a gas pipeline (and how do we get the maps for these lines?) I get the most ridiculous epiphanies sometimes.
