KUALA LUMPUR: The gas-inflated balloon explosion incident at Dataran Putrajaya yesterday was probably caused by the use of helium that has been mixed with other gases to reduce cost, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said. She said if the gases were mixed, it could really spell danger and disaster. Dr Wan Azizah was met after the presentation of the Offer Letter for Transit House under the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) People’s Housing Programme here today. Dr Wan Azizah said four victims were reported to be stable. She said she had also talked to Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik and Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching pertaining to safety guidelines to ensure such incidents to not recur.
