IPOH: A 63-year-old woman is in critical condition in the intensive care unit after a cooking gas cylinder exploded at a two-storey house here at about 5am this morning.
Ipoh district police chief Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said the explosion took place after the woman had gone into the kitchen to turn off the gas cylinder valve.
“One of the victim’s daughters said she had smelled a strong gas odour and had woken up her mother and younger sister to leave the house,” he said.
