Amirudin said the report will be aligned with the findings of the criminal probe before being made public, Bernama reported. He said the technical probe, led by the occupational safety and health department (DOSH), will cover pipe integrity, ground movement and whether nearby activities exerted pressure on the pipeline. 'We cannot release our criminal investigation yet because it needs to be combined with the technical investigation as there are still areas that need to be identified through the criminal probe,' he was quoted as saying at an e-bike handover ceremony to the Selangor police at its headquarters in Shah Alam today. On May 27, Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the police criminal investigation, which looked into possible negligence or sabotage, had been completed, but they were waiting for DOSH to finalise its findings.

AllPay launches Dosh prepaid card in the UK
Dosh, a prepaid Mastercard® account backed by allpay Limited and its 30-year public sector heritage, removes common barriers to entry, such as rigid ID and address checks, offering a more inclusive route to financial services for people often left behind by the mainstream, from those new to the UK to individuals in temporary housing. 6 This content is provided by an external author without editing by Finextra. It expresses the views and opinions of the author. In a market entrenched with surprise fees, gimmicks, bureaucracy, and barriers, DOSH arrives as the fintech challenger the unbanked have been waiting for. Backed by allpay's 30-year legacy of powering public sector payments, DOSH is a UK-focused prepaid Mastercard® account that upends banking norms with flexible ID options through its 'Vouch For' onboarding, alongside transparent pricing, financial literacy tools, and real UK-based human support. 'Traditional banks have built walls for the unbanked, DOSH's mission is to build bridges. We've created a fairer way to access financial services, designed for real life, not red tape. Whether you're paid in cash, don't have a standard ID, or just want a clearer way to manage your money, DOSH has been built to give you control, clarity, and confidence as your first step towards financial stability, all backed by allpay's three decades of trusted public service,' says Michelle Pacey, Managing Director of allpay. The Problem? In one of the world's leading economies, nearly one million people still live without access to a bank account. Across the EU, 13 million more are unbanked - relying on cash, costly credit, or informal workarounds just to get by. Without access to basic financial services, everyday tasks like paying rent, receiving wages, or building credit become significantly harder, deepening financial vulnerability. The unbanked in the UK are often among the most vulnerable, these include people experiencing homelessness, recent migrants, those in low-paid or unstable work, and individuals who lack the forms of ID or proof of address that traditional banks demand. For these individuals, being unbanked isn't just an inconvenience; it's a barrier to everyday life. It means struggling to receive wages or benefits, pay bills securely, or participate in the digital economy. This gap in access deepens inequality and leaves many stuck in cycles of poverty, excluded from the tools that help others build resilience and move forward. The DOSH Solution DOSH exists to challenge this norm, created not just as an alternative to mainstream banking but as a response to the systemic issues that keep people locked out of it. Designed to break down the real-world barriers that keep people unbanked. With flexible ID options, including the ability to be vouched for, and a fast, paperless sign-up process, it removes the red tape that often blocks access. Clear, jargon-free fees and instant transaction alerts build trust and financial confidence, while nationwide Post Office access will ensure cash-in and cash-out remain easy. Most importantly, DOSH puts its customers in control, from budgeting tools to real human support, it is a genuine first step towards financial inclusion and independence. Why It Matters Without access to a basic bank account, millions end up paying late-payment fees, falling into arrears, or resorting to high-cost credit. DOSH helps you build reliable payment habits and a strong money history, turning day-to-day stress into confident, future-focused planning. 'DOSH isn't just a product, it's a mission,' says Tony Killeen, allpay's Founder and Entrepreneur. 'It's the result of everything we've learned in 30 years of serving the public sector. We're building a platform that gives the most vulnerable dignity, access, and a path toward financial stability.' Availability & Next Steps DOSH launches across the UK later this year, with early-access and beta registration open now
