Subang MP Wong Chen, who raised the matter during the hearing, urged both PGB and the relevant government ministries to act without delay.

“I asked that PETRONAS Gas and the government ministries quickly test the grounds in all nine sites and prepare a technical report. The report should then be presented in a town hall meeting with residents,” Wong Chen said, underscoring the importance of public accountability and safety.

The hearing, described as “productive and reassuring,” also saw the participation of Subang Jaya OCPD ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat and MBSJ Deputy Mayor Zulkurnain Che Ali, who were present in support of the call for action.
