00:00With the incident in Petualang last night, do you have any cables that you can explain?
00:06First of all, I would like to express my condolences to all the victims
00:11for the unforeseen disaster.
00:14I am sure that the investigation is being carried out.
00:17The results of the investigation have not yet been completed, I think.
00:24But what is important is that the rescue process has been completed.
00:31Those who were brought to the hospital for treatment,
00:36the Prime Minister has treated them,
00:39and has announced certain assistance to the victims,
00:44as well as to the homes and vehicles that were damaged.
00:47That has already been announced.
00:49In terms of our government, it is more concerned with energy supplies.
00:56As of now, our energy supplies are stable.
00:59Because some of our resources require gas.
01:03And what happens when there is a leak,
01:09then some of the gas is blocked for the pipes and pipes.
01:13So it may damage the energy supplies.
01:16But the reports that I have received so far, Alhamdulillah,
01:19for this week, we will still be able to ensure that the energy supplies are stable.
01:28Next week, we will find a way to ensure that if gas is not supplied to the involved authorities,
01:35Petronas will find a way to supply gas.
01:43And the next step that we will take is to revive the old power plant
01:48to ensure that the energy supplies in Lembah Kelang will not be affected.
01:53The old power plant, you mean the one that uses diesel?
01:57The one that uses another method that does not depend on gas, because gas is not available.
02:02Do you know about the cable?
02:05Integrity audits are being carried out.
02:09Because there are two gas pipes there.
02:13The investigation is being carried out.
02:15For example, our cable is not damaged.
02:18If the cable is damaged, the electricity supply must have been cut off.
02:21As of now, there is none.
02:23We are monitoring others to ensure that the integrity of the whole infrastructure is not damaged.
02:30The one in the houses, the liquid one, you mean?
02:33Where the house is finished, the investigation is being carried out.
02:38What kind of assistance will be provided through Petronas and insurance and so on.
02:48It depends on the investigation.
02:50But the government will ensure that those who are affected, including the Bank Union,
02:57have announced that if they are affected,
03:01they will be forced to make new houses and so on.
03:05They will be able to provide assistance to those who are affected.
03:11There is a claim that there are construction workers who are planting coconut trees there.
03:15Let the investigation be finished first.
03:18I don't want to wait until the investigation is finished.
