Earning trust by ensuring accountability
SELANGOR Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has dismissed calls for a new investigation into the Putra Heights gas pipeline fire. He has pledged 'no cover-ups' and announced a briefing for lawmakers today, stating the full report will be released once cleared. The MB has been quoted as saying: 'Those who are unhappy can review the report themselves and identify who was responsible. It provides a picture of the responsible parties.' From my perspective, for communities along Malaysia's 2,600km gas pipeline network, the core expectation is clear: We need the investigation report published ASAP, intact and made public online, directly identifying who is accountable. It is my firm view that the onus should be on the investigation team to outline responsibility without ambiguity, not to leave the public to piece together who is at fault. This is a fundamental public expectation for transparency and rebuilding trust. Key unanswered questions The intense blaze, attributed to unstable ground, prompts crucial inquiries into the performance of established safety protocols. Reports now point to unstable ground as a direct cause. Significantly, soon after the incident, on April 3, Petronas Gas Berhad (PGB) issued a statement reaffirming its 'unwavering commitment to public safety'. PGB specifically emphasised its adherence to international standards and robust asset integrity management programmes, highlighting its external monitoring efforts which include 'regular soil and slope movement monitoring by competent and qualified personnel'. Given PGB's explicit assurance about its capabilities in soil and slope movement monitoring, urgent questions persist for the public and I believe the report must definitively address them, especially concerning any potential shortcomings: Soil monitoring: Did PGB's advanced soil monitoring systems detect early warnings of instability in the area? If so, what immediate actions were taken to prevent the rupture? Did the system fail to detect, or were warnings missed? Timely shut-down (automatic vs manual): The fire burned for a prolonged period. Why? Automatic shut-off: Did automatic shut- off systems, like SCADA/PLDS, designed for rapid response to major leaks, activate as expected at the site or upstream or were there delays? Operational empowerment: Were operational teams on duty empowered to manually shut off the gas immediately as part of emergency protocol? Was there any delay in gathering decision-makers, potentially impacting response time? Buffer zone assumptions: This incident highlights what I see as a critical question: whether current pipeline 'buffer zones' – distances assumed safe based on automatic shut-off valves closing almost instantaneously – are truly adequate if gas flow is prolonged. Understanding how these safeguards performed and how human intervention played a role is vital for ensuring quick containment. Lessons from past disasters History, tragically exemplified by the 1988 Piper Alpha oil platform disaster where 167 lives were lost due to continued fuel flow, starkly shows the cost of delayed isolation. While circumstances differ, the principle remains that rapid and decisive action to cut off fuel is paramount. This event, in my opinion, underscores the urgent need to re-evaluate pipeline 'buffer zones' against real-world scenarios, not just ideal-case assumptions of instant shutoff. For communities living near these pipelines, confidence in infrastructure safety is paramount. I believe clear, understandable answers on how our crucial safety technology functioned and how human protocols were executed in preventing a prolonged fire are essential to building this confidence. Any lessons learned from this incident, including those pertaining to reinforcing and enhancing existing safeguards, must be openly shared. If the full report lacks clarity on these vital operational questions, I strongly advocate that a separate, independent review by neutral experts should be considered to ensure full public confidence. Our collective well-being is paramount. To uphold public trust and ensure the safety of all communities, I believe the complete findings of this investigation must be transparently revealed, outlining accountability and addressing all ambiguities. This includes conclusive evidence regarding the performance of soil monitoring systems, the timeliness of gas shut-off mechanisms and the roles of operational teams, leaving no room for speculation about potential negligence. Only through such comprehensive disclosure can confidence be restored and future incidents prevented.

Water Ministry, U.S. government sign $39 million agreements
Ammon News - The Ministry of Water and Irrigation on Sunday signed agreements for projects under the Non-Revenue Water (NRW) Reduction Program, in partnership with the U.S. government, to benefit nearly four million residents in northern and central Jordan at a total value of $39 million. In a statement, Minister of Water and Irrigation Raed Abu Saud emphasized that efforts are focused on modernizing and upgrading water networks nationwide to reduce water losses, develop new networks, and improve the quality of services provided to citizens. He noted that these agreements mark the fourth phase of the NRW Reduction Program, funded by the U.S. government, building on years of productive cooperation to strengthen water management and boost operational efficiency at Yarmouk Water Company, which serves the governorates of Irbid, Jerash, Mafraq, and Ajloun. The $39 million agreement includes a $30 million grant from the U.S. government, with an additional $9 million contribution from the Water Authority. The projects will be implemented over four years, starting August 15 and running until December 14, 2029, benefiting more than 3.2 million residents and saving an estimated eight million cubic meters of water annually. The program will also build staff capacity, upgrade IT infrastructure, and enhance operating systems, followed by improvement plans to ensure long-term performance sustainability. A comprehensive field survey will be conducted in the four governorates, with tasks such as meter reading, billing, monitoring illegal use, providing leak detection vehicles and equipment, and forming dedicated maintenance teams. Additionally, Miyahuna Company signed a separate agreement under the U.S. grant to award a tender for rehabilitating three major pumping stations Mujib, Zarqa Ma'in, and Zara Ma'in to improve water supply efficiency for Amman and Zarqa. Valued at JD4 million, this project will enhance water services for more than one million citizens through advanced civil, mechanical, and electrical upgrades. The works will include building flood protection walls, rehabilitating Mujib Dam's main pumping line, installing high-efficiency pumps and automated valves, improving drainage, cleaning and upgrading internal systems, installing fully automated control systems, and connecting all three stations to the SCADA control center in Dabouq for better monitoring and rapid response. These upgrades will help minimize Zara Ma'in shutdowns during winter turbidity events, ensure continuous operation, increase annual supply by at least one million cubic meters, and reduce maintenance costs by 15 percent. This initiative is part of a series of NRW Reduction projects in their third phase, also funded by the U.S. government, including the Wadi Al-Seer Water Treatment Plant upgrade, awarded to Nasr Arshidat Company under Arabtech Jardaneh's supervision at a cost of JD 2.5 million. This upgrade will raise the plant's annual production capacity by 18 percent, equivalent to an extra one million cubic meters of water. During the signing ceremony, representatives from the U.S. Embassy reaffirmed the strength of the Jordan-U.S. partnership in tackling water challenges through sustainable, long-term development projects.

SCADA project to automate Chennai reservoirs operation makes slow progress; WRD aims to complete by Northeast monsoon
The project to automate the operation of the city reservoirs and develop decision support for water management has slowed down, as the Water Resources Department awaits the release of the National Disaster Mitigation Fund. Though the project was chalked out a year ago, it has not made significant progress in terms of instrumentation installation. However, the department is confident of completing the work by the onset of the Northeast monsoon, which brings in a major share of annual rainfall to Chennai. The opening of the floodgates of reservoirs, including Chembarambakkam and Red Hills, renews concerns on impending inundation in the downstream areas during every Northeast monsoon. In a key effort to reduce flooding, increase response time, and enable transparency in sharing reservoirs' storage data, the department will introduce the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) based integrated reservoir automation system. Officials said work is in progress, however at a slow pace, for automated flood control and real-time monitoring of the storage. The project aimed at fixing automatic water level recorders, flow sensors, and gate sensors to automate shutters operation, manage water discharge during peak inflow, and reduce flood risk in low level areas. The department is constructing an integrated command control centre at Chepauk and connected with sub-control centres in Red Hills, Poondi and Chembarambakkam reservoirs. When the SCADA based system is in place, reservoirs' shutters can be operated remotely from Chepauk and analyse inflows and changes in water levels to control flood discharge. The integrated command centre would have graphical representations of the reservoirs' network-inflow rate from various points, outflow level, position of sluice gates and storage. Various real-time data would be analysed to assess the exact time required for the reservoirs to fill up and need to store or release water. The decision support system would also allow real-time sharing of information with other institutions and government agencies and enhance flood management. The Rs. 32 crore project will help accurately predict reservoir capacity and optimise water resource management during summer months, officials said. A 'Near line disaster recovery centre' is also being established in Alandur that would function as a backup location for critical data recovery and operation during extreme weather events. On the delay in project, officials said efforts are being taken to implement the project by this upcoming monsoon.
