Collapsed crane: Safety not a cost, it's an investment, says MBAM president

KUALA LUMPUR: Construction industry players are urged to view safety as an investment and not a mere cost to avoid any unwanted event following the collapsed crane incident which disrupted the Komuter and Electric Train Service (ETS) of Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) in the Klang Valley on Tuesday (Dec 12).

Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) president Oliver Wee Hiang Chyn in acknowledging almost everything in the industry revolves around cost efficiency, said project owners, consultants or any party involved should offer suitable prices so that the contractors could in turn allocate a proportionate amount towards safety.
