PETALING JAYA: The Works Ministry has ordered the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) and an independent consulting engineering firm to submit a report on the scaffolding incident on the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Highway (DASH) within a week.

It also issued a stop-work order involving falsework by Projek Lintasan Damansara-Shah Alam Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), the project developer. Falsework is a temporary framework to support construction work.
