SHAH ALAM, April 5 — Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari today said his remarks about an excavator being buried at the site of the gas pipeline explosion in Putra Heights were twisted by critics of the state government.
“Certain quarters are trying to question my position based on the statement I issued on the first day of Hari Raya,” he told a press conference here.
“I want to say my statement was misconstrued by them because what I said was based on my conversation with the Selangor police chief. We had anticipated that there are excavators buried at the site,” he said.
“That’s what the CPO (chief police officer) said and what I conveyed to the public. So if you have any information, come forward — we have to find where this excavator is.”
More to come.
