It was shut down very quickly. There is a lot of gas remaining inside the pipeline that needs to go somewhere. Letting it burn is the safest, most manageable way to dispose of the gas, taking into account the surrounding area had been evacuated.

14km for a stop valve is a bit too much isn’t it? Especially when it’s around housing area? Wonder what is the regulation in the west where they directly pump gas into houses

The housing area was not there when the pipeline was designed and built. There is no regulation as to the distance between isolation valves mentioned in the reference code. The owner/operator will have to determine what they think is a safe volume of gas to be contained between isolation valves.

Edit : So apparently there was a new rule made official in 2022 in USA for location of valves in new pipelines :

Heavily populated area is Class 4, distance between Rupture Mitigation Valves to be 8 miles (12.9km). 14km not that far off, considering the pipeline in Puchong was done in 1990s.

Saw a news clip yesterday a witness said on the first day of Raya, he saw three Banglas working there in the morning, later in the afternoon many officials including from PETRONAS were there. Probably, something had already gone wrong then

It's a fallback system in the event of a failure of the automated system.

This is crucial info, already know there is an issue and no evacuation in the first place? ada link , we must check the validity , not accuse

They panic, they are so.used to.nothing will happen to them authorities nato when it's clearly.their fault. Just come up.with lame excuse claim they follow all procedures, bukan salah I, act of.god, etc

They got scared after hearing police chief saying we will seek justice for the victims, iwk washed their hands off saying contractors not registered with them.

All parties are.pratically saving themselves so they also do the.same

Yeah, can see.

Fyi, .......

The Construction Industry Development Board says it does not want to pre-empt the probe into the gas pipeline fire.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia has issued an apology and retracted its media statement on the gas pipeline blaze in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.

In its latest statement, CIDB said this was to avoid pre-empting the investigation, which involves multiple authorities. ...

Was CIDB's retracted statement true or false.?

Is the reason for CIDB retracting it's statement or "U-Turn" acceptable or rejectable.?
