PETALING JAYA - Netizens have expressed their worry of the safety standards at MRT construction sites and called for sterner actions towards companies involved.
The reactions started pouring in following the mishap involving three workers at an MRT construction site in Kota Damansara Monday.
Facebook user Ui Riamu said that he had felt uncomfortable driving past the MRT construction site on the day of the accident.
"The project was rushed...not feeling safe when driving," he said.
Agreeing to the statement, Ashley Dazzling said that every time she passes the construction area in Kota Damansara, she would look up to see what is happening and wonder what would happen if something heavy falls on people below.
"Never knew it would really happen. Luckily I will not be using the road for two weeks. Sounds scary and horrible," she said.
Vincent Tey simply said that better occupational health and safety standards are needed.
Another Facebook user, Meran Cobain-Winehouse said that this (the accidents) was happening too often for comfort.
"Either the authority bucks up the safety standards or shut it down. MRT Corp or local authority shouldn't put the workers and citizen at unnecessary risk," she said.
In an accident late Monday night, a 300-tonne concrete span collapsed at a MRT construction site in Kota Damansara. Three Bangaldeshi workers were trapped under the concrete span and one body have been recovered so far.
