Eight people sustained minor injuries when the ceiling of a restaurant collapsed following two minor gas explosions at Mid Valley Megamall this morning.
Quoting a source from the KL Fire and Rescue Department, The Star Online said the incident happened at 10.21am.
Eight men from the Pantai fire station were sent to the scene where it was discovered that the ceiling of a restaurant located at the ground floor of the mall had collapsed.
The explosions reportedly happened at two restaurants during re-instatement work on the mall’s liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) system.
“There were minor injuries to our maintenance staff, LPG contractor and tenant staff. Medical treatment is already being given. There were no fatalities, neither were there any injuries to the public,” Mid Valley Megamall management said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.
“We are working with the relevant authorities and have shut all the gas systems in Mid Valley Megamall until further notice,” it said.
