About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of the Putra Heights pipeline explosion and the findings of a new report questioning the investigation's conclusions.

It’s been a year since the Putra Heights pipeline explosion, a disaster that left hundreds of homes damaged and more than a hundred people injured. While an official investigation by the official Parliamentary Special Select Committee concluded there was no negligence, a new report titled “ Putra Heights: One Year On, Unanswered Questions Remain ” is raising questions about what may have been overlooked, particularly when it comes to planning, safety standards, and oversight. We explore those findings with the report's co-authors, Hamizah Shamsudeen, a Climate and Energy Campaigner at Greenpeace Malaysia , and Adam Farhan, the Co-Founder and Director at RimbaWatch.
