00:00We are grateful that nobody died, nobody said anything, and I'm quite sure that Anas will
00:17investigate fully the causes of the explosion, and we hope we will never have another one.
00:25Who do you think should bear the responsibility for it, if it wasn't Petronas' fault?
00:31Well, we don't know just yet. We can't go around accusing people. We have to investigate.
00:38If we find evidence, then we can say who is responsible. But I don't like speculation
00:47and blaming people. It's not right, because we don't know actually how this happened,
00:54the fire, the explosion. It's very unusual. Petronas didn't have taken every care to ensure
01:06that the pipes are safe. They inspect the pipes, but we don't know what caused it.
01:14So I'm not blaming anybody, and I think we should not go around pointing fingers at people.
