KUALA BESUT: A three-storey building at a resort under construction in Pulau Perhentian, off Terengganu, collapsed early Thursday (Nov 9) trapping a Malaysian and six foreign workers, but four of them scrambled out of the rubble, two were rescued and one remains missing.
Besut OCPD Supt Abdul Rozak Muhammad said the Malaysian and three Rohingya workers managed to crawl out of the debris soon after the incident happened at about 5am on the island, which is a 30-minute ferry ride from here.
