00:30residential and commercial area.
00:31This is a disaster.
00:33And we have seen with Malaysia Gas and PetroNagas
00:36how we can help to minimize the impact
00:40to those affected by gas supply to these places.
00:45Including power station.
00:46Power station, it needs 200.
00:49130 is needed to lose and also for residential.
00:53Millions cubic feet.
00:58So, I have asked PetroNas to see how
01:03maybe virtual pipe.
01:04Virtual pipe means using a truck, using a tank.
01:08That is being seen to minimize the impact
01:12to the needs of the affected gas supply by this incident.
01:17What are the additional steps for the gas pipe line?
01:20We are discussing that.
01:22But I think it's good to discuss later.
01:26Let it be discussed.
01:27But that is our concern.
01:29Our concern is for the future safety.
01:32Security of the gas pipe line.
01:34We have pressed for a meeting last week
01:37so that we are ready to make improvements
01:41based on this incident and the investigation.
01:45To make improvements so that we don't repeat it again.
01:49And we don't know the cause yet.
01:51Until we know it, we can make comprehensive improvements
01:56to manage the safety issues of the gas pipe line.
02:02Because PetroNas is under SOP.
02:06In terms of construction, everything is under SOP.
02:09Even the work is supervised by them
02:12and their contractors.
02:14The work is done in their ROW area.
02:17So, it's not related to the SOP violation.
02:20We just want to see and wait for the actual cause.
02:23We will wait and see after the investigation.
02:26We will see how to manage the gas pipe line.
