SHAH ALAM: Homeowners affected by the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, will receive additional contributions of RM5,000 and RM2,500 each from Petronas depending on the extent of the house damage, said Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said the financial contribution of RM5,000 for homes that are categorised as a total loss and RM2,500 to those affected is in addition to the assistance announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim previously.
With the additional contribution, he said, those whose homes are categorised as a total loss would receive a total of RM10,000, while homeowners whose houses are affected or tenants would receive a total of RM5,000 each.
"After the registration process closed at 6 pm yesterday, there are a total of 613 households from 437 houses registered, meaning there were houses with rooms for rent," he said.
Amirudin said the first session of the distribution of contributions will be carried out by the state government today.
