BINTULU, Aug 4 - A worker died after a gas leak occurred at the Malaysian Liquiefied Natural Gas (MLNG) plant in Tanjung Kidurong here today.

A source at Petronas Sarawak confirmed the incident happened at around 4.30pm when the worker together with two colleagues were conducting inspections at a major gas pipeline at the facility.

The three men were said to have fainted after inhaling gas before other workers realised what had happened.

A source at the Bintulu Hospital told Bernama the hospital rushed an ambulance to the scene after receiving a distress call.

MLNG public relations manager Shamsur Taha, when contacted, said an official statement on the incident would be issued by Petronas soon. - Bernama
