Minimal impact as Gas Malaysia resumes full supply after blast
Gas Malaysia's pipeline network is a natural gas distribution system designed to safely deliver natural gas to end users across multiple sectors.
KUCHING (July 4): Gas Malaysia Bhd has confirmed that gas supply has fully resumed at the Shah Alam and Batu Tiga City Gate stations following the lifting of curtailment measures imposed after the transmission pipeline fire incident at Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.
The group in a statement said gas supply has now returned to the quantities agreed under its Gas Supply Agreements with customers.
It also stressed that it prioritises safety and continues to maintain strict operational standards to ensure gas infrastructure is developed responsibly.
'Gas Malaysia's pipeline network is a natural gas distribution system designed to safely deliver natural gas to end users across multiple sectors.
'Operating at lower pressures and on a smaller scale than transmission pipelines, these pipelines are typically laid within road reserve areas, ensuring both accessibility and full compliance with regulatory standards,' it said.
Analysts at MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd welcomed the development and said it would have minimal impact on Gas Malaysia's financial year 2025 (FY25) performance.
They noted that the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) had completed its investigation into the incident and attributed the gas leak to poor soil stabilisation.
'While no impacted amount was disclosed, we opine that it will be less than 1 per cent of its average yearly earnings with less than 2 per cent average yearly volume affected.
'This is due to the additional gas supply obtained during the investigation period and the steps taken ahead of a complete disruption for GMB's customers,' it said in a note on Wednesday.
Nevertheless, the repair and upgrade for the damaged pipeline will be largely under Petronas's jurisdiction, it added.
The research house said that resumption of supply reflects Gas Malaysia's efforts to protect customer interests and stakeholder confidence.
It also expects higher average selling prices in the second half of FY25 due to the recent rise in Brent crude oil prices and the resulting increase in the Malaysia Reference Price (MRP).
Gas Malaysia also reminded the public to avoid any activities that could endanger its gas pipelines. This includes unauthorised excavation, open burning, and placing objects along pipeline routes.
It said it has installed visible signboards and markers along its pipeline pathways to alert both the public and contractors. 2025 Putra Heights pipeline fire corporate news Gas Malaysia
