KUALA LUMPUR: One of the country’s brightest and youngest corporate figures Dr Liew Boon-Horng was killed when an iron mould weighing almost two tonnes fell on his car from one of the two condominium-cum-office blocks under construction along Jalan Sri Hartamas. 

The impact of the mould, used to make concrete slabs and measuring 4m by 5m, fell from the 20th floor, causing the left side of the metallic blue BMW to be partially crushed in the 3pm tragedy yesterday.
