One dead in Malaysian shopping mall blast: police

KUALA LUMPUR -- One man was killed and 19 workers were injured Monday in an explosion at a newly built Malaysian shopping center which police said was likely caused by a gas leak.

The blast occurred at the food court of the Aeon Jusco Mall in the southern state of Malacca which had been due to open on Tuesday.

“We believe it was caused by the gas pipe. The mall is new and yet to open and the workers were installing and testing the gas pipes at the time,” said district police chief Salehhudin Abdul Rahman.
