One dead, another injured in MRT construction site accident (Updated)

KUALA LUMPUR: One Bangladeshi worked died while another was injured in an accident at the Semantan Portal Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) construction site today.
Speaking to reporters at the site of the accident, MRT Strategic Communications Director Amir Mahmood Razak said the incident which occurred at 1.20pm involved three Bangladeshi workers.
"One of the workers, identified as Rijaul Abdul Goni, 40, died on the spot. Another identified as Shanaullah, 37, was injured and has been sent to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
"The third person identified as Rozlu Karim escaped injury," he said.
In the incident, the workers were assembling a steel cage, when the ties that held the steel bars snapped, causing it to collapse on the workers.
When asked about the weight of a single steel bar, Amir said each bar weighs about 70kg.
A police team and the forensics unit arrived at the construction site at about 3pm. Investigations have commenced to determine the cause of the accident.
Work has been suspended at the V4 Semantan Portal interface site until further notice.
