Empire Shopping Gallery has been temporarily closed to the public until a report on what caused the explosion is completed. Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the building has to be closed as firemen and police are still investigating the explosion. "After this, the building co-owners and engineers will inspect the area and decide whether it can be reopened to the public or not. The government priority is public safety. The co-owners must guarantee that the building is safe to the public if reopened," he told reporters after inspecting the scene in Subang Jaya. He was proud of the firemen and police who arrived at the scene less than 15 minutes after the explosion. "I was assured by a professional team including engineers that they had inspected the building structure and found that it was not affected." Four people escaped with light injuries from the explosion early this morning.
