八点最热报 | 《八点最热报》团队今早前往灾区时发现，不少受灾户居民都在控诉，各单位的协调工作进展缓慢，导致他们从昨天到今天只能焦急地等待。尽管昨天宣布，将为灾民派发援助金，但很多人并不知道援助，向谁申请，更担心政府的援助措施，只闻楼梯却响，没有后续进展。（主播：萧慧敏）

00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:04The leak of the natural gas pipe in Potala Plateau, Shenzhou, has entered the second day today.
00:09The cabinet and other departments have also appeared to follow up on the assistance plan.
00:13The Minister of Land, Nikemin, said in a statement that the Ministry of Land will hold its first meeting on Friday to discuss how to help the victims rebuild their homes.
00:21Nikemin said that many of the homeless victims are currently being settled in the temporary evacuation center of Potala Plateau.
00:30Yang Meiying, a member of Congress in the Pudong Pudong District, also announced that her office will start today.
00:35She will issue a $1,000 aid fund to the families of the Kampong Kuala Sungai Baru and Kampong Tengah, which were severely affected by the explosion of the natural gas pipe,
00:44especially the victims of the material destruction.
00:47Due to the fact that many of the residents' vehicles were hit by the fire,
00:51Huang Sihan, an executive member of Shenzhou, also announced to the media that
00:56the Malaysian company will provide 50 cars for free for the victims to temporarily use for a month, and give priority to people in need.
01:05Although the government has announced the assistance plan,
01:08but when the 8 o'clock hot team went to the disaster area this morning to interview,
01:11they found that many victims were complaining that the coordination work of each unit was too slow,
01:17causing them to wait anxiously from yesterday to today.
01:20Although the prime minister announced yesterday that he would issue aid funds for the victims,
01:24many people don't know how to apply, who to apply to,
01:28and are more worried about the government's assistance measures.
01:33Let's take a look at reporter Lin Xiaoqian's interview with Huang Siyun at the disaster area this morning.
01:39The explosion of the natural gas pipe in Bukit Bertahar, Shenzhou,
01:42caused many people to be injured and hundreds of houses to be destroyed.
01:46The reporter is now standing in front of the Bukit Bertahar Peace Park in the heavy disaster area.
01:50As you can see, the police have set up a temporary command center on my left hand side
01:55to coordinate with each unit to send the most timely progress to the residents.
01:59On my right hand side, people have been waiting anxiously from yesterday to today,
02:03hoping to return home as soon as possible to clean up the personal belongings of the victims.
02:07Many victims said during the interview that
02:10they have a record of the disaster that happened yesterday morning.
02:14It was definitely an earthquake.
02:16The whole sky was red.
02:20Then it started to rain, so we ran.
02:24We just ran.
02:25There was nothing else to do, just ran.
02:28My wife was still traumatized emotionally.
02:30Yesterday, she was trapped with her parents.
02:34This is an unforgettable experience.
02:36We ran opposite the pipeline with my daughter.
02:40I separated from my husband.
02:42My husband was at the back.
02:43I separated with my youngest daughter as well.
02:45I couldn't contact them for one hour like that.
02:48So I was crying, crying, crying.
02:49Where's my daughter? Where's my daughter?
02:51My car's both melted.
02:53And then my mum's house, I think car's melted as well.
02:56It was so hot.
02:57I lost my two cats as well.
02:58It was a bit like a volcano eruption, but luckily it didn't explode.
03:01Some people were aware of the danger, so they ran away quickly.
03:05If you're not aware of the danger, you don't know what's going on.
03:08As they said, some people are trapped in their houses for a long time
03:11before they know they have to run out.
03:13This morning, a large number of police and evacuation teams
03:15stationed outside the disaster relief centre
03:17and pulled up the yellow warning line to prohibit people from entering.
03:21All affected victims had to register at the entrance
03:24and wait for further instructions from relevant units
03:26while sitting on the side of the road or in the tent.
03:29During this time, Huang Si-han, an executive member of the school board,
03:31also rushed to the scene to inspect the disaster relief situation
03:34and provide necessary assistance to the residents.
03:36The Forensic Department is currently doing the investigation.
03:41So they need a little time
03:42because the explosion is quite serious.
03:45Since last night, the residents have been...
03:48Under our coordination,
03:50the police have allowed the residents to distribute
03:53important documents and medicines to their homes.
03:56So this morning, we will continue to allow the residents
04:00to distribute these important items to their homes.
04:04Today, various relevant departments, including the KDV,
04:07also went in to do the cleaning work.
04:09But the most important thing is that the Petronas team
04:12will do a detailed investigation
04:14and restore the operation of the gas pipe as soon as possible.
04:19This will ensure the safety of the area.
04:24In the midst of the urgent waiting,
04:26a representative from the Residents' Association
04:28pleaded with the YB to ask all departments to speed up
04:31and assist the victims to return to their homes.
04:33The residents are very concerned about how to go about.
04:35Definitely, we are coordinating with them.
04:37The R.A. committee are ready to support.
04:39So please work with us so that you speed up the thing.
04:42There were even victims who couldn't help but curse.
04:45They said they could only wait from last night to now,
04:48but did not receive a positive response.
04:50For us, we are running around like headless chicken.
04:53Is there somewhere, single point of collection?
04:56Just one minute.
04:57What is this? Who is more important here?
04:59Don't worry.
05:00At around 10 noon,
05:01after all departments confirmed the safety of the residents' homes,
05:04the police announced that the residents will follow the residents' address
05:07and distribute the items to their homes.
05:09Under the escort of the Petronas team,
05:11they will enter the disaster area to collect personal belongings and important documents.
05:14But each household will only allow up to two family members to enter.
05:17In addition, some residents are allowed to drive to the other entrance of the garden
05:21to return to their homes to understand the situation.
05:23The reporter just followed one of the victims' vehicles
05:26to the other entrance of the disaster garden.
05:28It can be seen that the police are now temporarily allowing
05:31those victims who can be controlled by their homes
05:34to return to their homes to collect personal belongings.
05:37However, the police are still highly alert
05:40and do not allow any media reporters to enter the disaster area.
05:43Due to the inability to enter the shooting,
05:45the Petronas team can only stay at the entrance
05:47and wait for the victims to take large and small bags of luggage
05:50to leave the disaster area and inform the extent of the damage to the residents' homes.
05:53Some residents said that they could only get out of the car yesterday
05:57and only today did they move the car parked in the disaster area.
06:00The entire vehicle was covered in mud and sand.
06:03At first glance, I don't know if it's okay.
06:06If it's okay, it's normal.
06:08I'll check it later.
06:10If there's nothing wrong, I'll be relieved.
06:12I'll come back when I have time.
06:14It's very serious in the front.
06:16It should be very pitiful in the front.
06:18The damage is very severe.
06:20There's a hole in the top of my master bedroom.
06:24Now, it's very obvious.
06:26My house is flooded when it rains.
06:28I'm very thankful because I ran out in a flash.
06:32I didn't hurt my car.
06:34You're the only one at home.
06:35Yes, I'm the only one. My child is not here.
06:37I didn't even take my handphone. I ran out.
06:39My friends were injured.
06:42Are you injured?
06:44It's not as serious as I thought.
06:47Fortunately, our family is fine.
06:51I took my child's things.
06:54We didn't get anything yesterday.
06:56Now, we have more time to take important things.
07:01Although the fire was successfully extinguished yesterday,
07:04you can see from the photos posted by the Snowy Prefecture Pesticide Control Bureau on Facebook.
07:08After the fire, the scene was full of smoke.
07:11Once a warm home,
07:13now it's just a dark ruin.
07:15Some of the houses were burned to the ground.
07:18The walls and roofs were almost completely damaged.
07:21Now, the victims can only continue to wait for the units to take aid measures
07:25and hope to return to normal life soon.
