KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — The Transport Ministry, through the Road Transport Department (JPJ), will help victims of the Putra Heights gas pipeline blaze in Subang Jaya by opening a mobile counter at the Putra Heights Mosque temporary relief centre.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the two-day service from today would allow victims to replace documents issued by JPJ, which were destroyed or lost in the fire incident, without a police report and would be completed promptly.
“They only need to provide their names and identity card numbers to have their documents reprinted for free… this service will be extended if needed,” he told a media conference after visiting the centre today.
The documents that can be replaced for free include driving licences, motor vehicle licences and Vehicle Ownership Certificates.
Loke said this initiative is supported by the General Insurance Association Of Malaysia to offer advisory services about claims victims can make.
“Prasarana has provided six vans for victims to go home to collect their belongings when allowed by the authorities.
“These vans can also be used to transport them to LRT stations or wherever they need to go to purchase essential items,” he said.
