Need to improve safety


I WISH to express my support for the recommendations made by the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) for more stringent enforcement in the construction industry and mandatory requirement for training of supervisory personnel and workers in the industry.

This is in light of the partial collapse of a temporary structure in a building under construction in Petaling Jaya on Sunday that injured six construction workers.
