KUALA LUMPUR: The main contractor of the KL Eco City development in Bangsar has been charged with safety negligence in the collapse of a link bridge last November that caused the death of a site worker.
Tuck Sin Engineering & Construction Sdn Bhd was charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court yesterday under the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board Act Section 34B(1)(C).
The action was initiated by the Construction Industry Development Board of Malaysia (CIDB).
According to a statement from CIDB chief prosecuting officer Abdul Razak Husin, findings by the CIDB revealed that the contractor had failed to adhere to construction site safety requirements under CIDB’s Act 520 (Amendment 2011).
“This is the main reason we have taken legal action against the contractor. However, the contractor has called for hearing and the case will be up for mention on May 31,” he was quoted as saying by The Sun daily.
If found guilty, Tuck Sin Engineering & Construction which is the main contractor of the project could be fined not more than RM500,000 or its officers may face a jail sentence of not more than two years, or both.
A half-completed 70m long pedestrian bridge to connect the KL Eco City to The Gardens shopping mall in Mid Valley City collapsed on Nov 29, killing a 21-year old Vietnamese worker and injuring five of his colleagues.
KL Eco City, undertaken by SP Setia, is touted as a “world class city-within-a city” on 25-acres of prime land. It is a mixed development of commercial, retail space and luxury residential property. -FMT
