Chinese worker killed in fire on Pertamina pipeline in Indonesia

JAKARTA - A fire broke out on a pipeline operated by Indonesian state oil and gas company Pertamina in West Java province on Tuesday (Oct 22), killing a Chinese construction worker, a local fire official said.

Pertamina halted fuel distribution through the pipeline temporarily, a company spokesman, Ms Dewi Sri Utami, told reporters.

She said the company would not comment on the cause of the fire until after it has carried out an investigation and is focusing for now on putting out the blaze.

Video footage showed thick black smoke rising from one side of a highway and engulfing part of a busy toll road.

The construction worker who was killed was a crane operator, the local fire department official said by telephone.

Local media said the fire had broken out after drilling work was carried out as part of the construction of a China-funded US$6 billion (S$8.2 billion) high-speed railway project linking Jakarta and Bandung, the capital of West Java.

Kim Jong Un: South Korean facilities in Mount Kumgang resort must be removed

SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said South Korean facilities in the Mount Kumgang tourist resort must be removed and rebuilt in a modern way by North Korean methods, North Korean state news agency KCNA said on Wednesday (Oct 23).

Mount Kumgang, along with the Kaesong industrial zone, has been one of two major inter-Korean economic projects and symbol of cooperation between the two Koreas.

Mr Kim, while inspecting the tourist spot on the east coast of North Korea, said it was a "mistaken idea" for Mount Kumgang to be viewed as a symbol of North-South relations, underscoring that it is North Korean soil, and tourism there must not be under the control of South Korea.

"We will always welcome our compatriots from the south if they want to come to Mount Kumgang after it is wonderfully built as the world-level tourist destination," Mr Kim added.

South Koreans were allowed to visit Mount Kumgang starting in 1998 by sea and from 2003 by land, with South Korean firms such as Hyundai Asan Corp investing in the tourist resort.
