According to a few customers who were in the restaurant at the time of the incident, there was a huge explosion before the fire began spreading in the restaurant.

Khalid, 36, one of the customers said that he started to run away from the restaurant as soon as he heard the explosion.

“Just a few mouthfuls of rice, suddenly I heard an explosion, I didn’t think twice and ran out of the restaurant,” Khalid said, as reported by Sinar Harian.
