Pahang: The Pahang government handed over an initial donation to one of the victims of the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, Selangor, who was born in the state to ease the burden faced. Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said the donation was handed over to Zurina Mohd Isa, 49, who was presented by Perantau Anak Pahang Secretariat officer Syed Anas Syed Ali when she visited her at the Temporary Relief Centre (PPS) at the Putra Heights Masjid Hall today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail expressed hope that Zurina and her family from Jengka 8 would continue to persevere in the face of these trying times, especially since this incident happened during the Aidilfitri celebrations. He remarked that supporting Pahang-born individuals during such crises was a primary aim of the Perantau Anak Pahang Secretariat. The initiative ensures that residents of Pahang living elsewhere receive necessary aid and support during disasters.

The tragic gas pipeline fire incident occurred at 8.10 am on Tuesday, resulting in towering flames and producing significant heat waves and dust. The incident led to the destruction of rows of homes and property, including more than 300 vehicles.
