Malaysian Straits Times reported that the Malaysian authorities have issued a stop-work order and an immediate safety audit on the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway site where a crane toppled on March 22, killing three workers and injuring two others as well as a member of the public. One of the injured is a Malaysian man who was the driver of a car and he has been described as gravely injured. Investigation is being conducted by the Malaysian Highway Authority and Construction Industry Development Board would also check why the roads were not closed to the public before such heavy construction work was carried out. The former is the regulator for the building of all highways, while CIDB is the authority overseeing all construction site operations.
