Putra heights: The Selangor government has disbursed RM864,000 in the second phase of temporary rental assistance to 144 households affected by last year's gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, State Housing and Culture Committee chairman Datuk Borhan Aman Shah stated that the payments, covering July to September 2025, were credited on August 6 through the Selangor Housing and Property Board (LPHS). The recipient selection process involved a data review conducted by the Petaling District Disaster Management Committee, Victim Data Subcommittee, and local community representatives.

'The list was updated based on factors such as homes already repaired, former tenants who have relocated or those no longer needing assistance,' Borhan noted in a statement. He emphasized that the aid aims to ease the burden on affected families as they navigate relocation or home repairs. He also urged remaining eligible victims to claim their assistance at the Petaling District and Land Office for further verification.

In the first phase of the programme, covering April to June, a total of RM2.19 million was disbursed to 365 households, demonstrating the ongoing efforts to support the community in recovering from the disaster.
