Selangor Extends Aid to Gas Explosion Victims in Putra Heights

Selangor Extends Rental Aid to Putra Heights Gas Explosion Victims Subang Jaya, Malaysia – In a show of continued support for victims of the devastating gas explosion that rocked Putra Heights on April 1st, the Selangor state government has announced an extension of its rental assistance program. The program, initially set to expire in June, will now continue until at least April 2026. The explosion, which resulted from a gas pipeline rupture, caused widespread damage and left numerous families displaced. The state government swiftly responded, providing immediate financial aid to help affected families secure temporary housing. "The extension is crucial," said a spokesperson for the Selangor government. "We want to ensure that these families have the support they need while their homes are being repaired or rebuilt." The extended aid will provide RM2,000 per month to each affected family. This assistance is in addition to the RM27.3 million allocated earlier for housing aid for 455 families. The government is also assessing the repair process for each home to facilitate the disbursement of funds. This long-term commitment to aiding the victims demonstrates the Selangor government's dedication to the well-being of its citizens and underscores the importance of community support in times of crisis. The continued assistance will provide much-needed stability and hope to families still recovering from the devastating event.
