Subang Jaya: The second group of 30 victims affected by the Putra Heights gas pipeline blaze in Subang Jaya received cars for temporary use from automotive company Carro today. Selangor Investment, Trade and Mobility Committee chairman and Kinrara assemblyman Ng Sze Han said the assistance aims to help victims manage their daily activities more easily.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ng Sze Han expressed gratitude on behalf of the Selangor government to Carro for providing the vehicles to the victims of the Putra Heights fire. "This morning, we handed over the keys to family representatives. The cars will be available to them for a month," he informed reporters after the handover ceremony.
Ng mentioned that prior to this, 25 vehicles from Chery Malaysia were given to the first group of recipients, with more distributions scheduled in the upcoming days. He elaborated that over 150 victims have applied for temporary vehicles through Google Forms, emphasizing that the damage extent to their vehicles does not affect their eligibility. "As long as they need a car, we will try our best to help," he stated, highlighting that over 200 vehicles have been offered by multiple automotive companies for the cause.
The contributions include 50 cars from Chery, 30 from Carro, 62 from YonMing, 30 from Tan Chong Motor Holdings Bhd and Warisan TC Holdings Bhd, 20 from GoCar, and 50 from Carsome. Additionally, Ng disclosed that Panasonic Malaysia is contributing to the relief efforts by distributing household appliance vouchers to the victims. Panasonic is providing 240 e-vouchers worth RM500 each to facilitate the purchase of household appliances.
"The Google Form for the e-voucher application is expected to open today, and successful applicants will receive their vouchers via email. Those in need of electrical items are encouraged to apply and make full use of this aid," Ng concluded.
