Malaysia's Continued Support for Gas Explosion Victims
Puchong LRT station incident: The Transport Minister implies that CCTV footage indicates the Taiwanese national's fall at the Puchong LRT station was likely an accident, with authorities planning on launching a police investigation.
Hey there,
Here's an update on the situation in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, Malaysia, following the devastating gas pipeline explosion that occurred back in April. Aiming to provide aid and support for the affected victims, the Selangor government has extended their rental assistance program beyond the initial six months.
Datuk Borhan Aman Shah, chairman of the State Housing and Culture Committee, revealed that the monthly rental assistance of RM2,000 will continue to be disbursed for the victims until at least April 2026, giving them the time they need to fix their damaged or destroyed homes.
For those families who have suffered partial damage, the assistance will continue until all repair work is completed. However, once the occupants are able to move back into their homes, the aid will be discontinued.
The Selangor government is closely monitoring the progress of each affected home to ensure that the rental assistance is used appropriately and effectively within the allocated funding. As of now, a substantial 455 families have benefited from the government's RM2.73 million rental assistance program, which began covering the six months from April onwards [1].
So, folks, the Selangor government is standing steadfast with the affected families, helping them weather this tough situation as they rebuild their homes and their lives. Keep a positive outlook, and stay tuned for more updates!
