KUALA LUMPUR: All work at the construction site for the Sungai Rasau Water Supply Scheme (Stage 1) project, located at Taman Mas in Puchong, Selangor has been halted to evaluate the situation and implement additional safety protocols.

Gamuda Berhad in a statement said all parties at the construction site are working closely with local authorities and experts to investigate the cause of the incident and determine the appropriate course of action.

"Our top priority is the safety of our workers, the public, and the environment. We are grateful to report that no injuries were sustained by either our construction workers or the public,” said the statement.
