Safety at building sites should be monitored


THE news about the mezzanine floor of a hypermarket under construction at Pulau Sebang, Alor Gajah, Malacca, collapsing is shocking, to say the least, “Construction workers killed” (The Star, June 23).

Reports state that the mezzanine floor collapsed after the staging was removed. Fifteen foreign workers were said to have been inside the building at the time. Three are dead, six injured and another six are still missing.
