KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 24, 2014:
Four people are believed to have been trapped when liquid concrete collapsed on them at the Putra Heights construction of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system depot today.
In a statement by Parasarana Malaysia Berhad on its Facebook page, it confirmed of an incident at the depot which is on the Ampang (AMG) LRT extension project worksite.
“The incident occurred at 4.20pm when the formwork and scaffolding collapsed during the concreting of the deck slab,” the statement read.
However, it said four workers are believed to be trapped instead of three as reported by the Fire and Rescue Department earlier.
Four other workers sustained minor injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital.
“Rescue efforts are currently ongoing. The Emergency Response Team, as well as the Police and the Fire & Rescue Services have been mobilised and are at the site of the incident,” Prasarana confirmed.

Earlier the Fire and Rescue Department’s official Twitter account @bombaJBPM tweeted that the concrete fell on three people and work was ongoing to extract the victims.
Meanwhile, in an update on the Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Subang Jaya’s Facebook page, machinery from Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Puchong were deployed to the scene of the accident.
