QUOTE(SoMeOnE121 @ Dec 17 2019, 09:44 AM) Yeah, this is how fake news spread. I msg Skyworld semalam, and they said they will put out a statement after they have investigated it thoroughly. Hope they handle the PR of this thing properly. I'm just glad nobody was hurt badly or died. I think this wan they can still work with DBKL to tighten up safety and get back to building it. Spoke to a contact in DBKL and they said this is unlikely to disrupt the project much as they got lucky with not hurting or killing anyone. But his opinion is if there are any potential issues, it might come from the squatter community opposite the project and they might use this to stage protests but let's see la. Hope all ends well for every party concerned. Hope this is a wakeup call for all in the industry to ensure heavy equipment is handled better during bad weather. Its not bangla or some foreigner workers lost their lives... This one dropped on malay community. Dont play play Just over the weekend, a stone was dropped from DASH construction and ngam ngam hit a bensi rear window that parked "illegally" opposite a kopitiam. No one was injured.

Well, official news says 3-4 ppl injured la. Not in critical condition, but it did break the leg of a baby. Sad news indeed. Official news: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2019...ul-none-injuredLet's just hope SkyWorld opens their eyes, and do a better job going forward. Ya... Not sure how this will be handled seeing that the damages are with the illegal squatter settlement. This post has been edited by legaia_green: Dec 17 2019, 06:48 PM

QUOTE(scarypoolparty @ Dec 17 2019, 06:28 PM) Reputable developer???? When has sky world became reputable? What are their well known projects that elevated them to the elite of reputable developer? Well, they are not a small time developer anymore since they have a few completed projects under their belt like such as their SkyAwani Rumahwip, Ascenda and Bennington in their SkyArena masterplan. Not to mention those that are still under-con such as this project, SkyAwanis 2 & 3, SkyLuxe @ Bukit Jalil and The Valley @ Setiawangsa. So, yes, one can say they are reputable, but not yet on the same level as the big boys such as Tropicana, IGB, MRCB, Sunway, BRDB and the likes.

I really think that this incident is not just because the act of God or mere rain, coz it rained the whole KL and only SM's crane jatuh. Why? Despite the fact the FB post include irrelevant video, SM's did jatuh. Other property's crane didn't jatuh. Why? Something must has gone wrong somewhere. Don't think that this is to be taken lightly or just to be simply 'settled' with dbkl or to be buried in high level arrangements, people's life at risk (regardless if they live in illegal squatters). No one gets lucky here, all parties are on the losing end. As mentioned previously, I hope this won't reflect in the quality and safety of the building itself. SW really need to get things together!

Cranes have fallen before. Most recently at the Rumah WIP project at Jalan Gombak (Next to the mosque) but that happened within the construction area and was a tower crane which can potentially damage the structure depending on how and where it falls but obviously not a danger to the public as it fell within. Evidently they have overlooked the safety aspect of how this crawler cranes and other machinery get affected by the weather. I think for now let's not speculate and wait for them to conduct a detailed investigation and apply the learnings accordingly. A fallen piece of equipment is by no means a method in which to judge the quality of a building itself. This is not the same situation as the Kepong project which was evidently a quality issue. Even during the construction of KLCC last time there was crane that accidentally fell within the construction site and badly injured several workers during the early stage. Knew this through a family member that was involved as a supplier in the project (Other forum people who have heard and remember this please do chime in). Obviously information did not spread then as the internet was fairly new and the gov ensured the press didn't talk about it as well. You may also choose to believe or not believe but the point is it's no way a barometer of building quality but definitely a telltale sign of an unsafe site which is also not good. I agree they have to improve the construction site safety a lot. Let's see. This post has been edited by SoMeOnE121: Dec 18 2019, 09:11 AM

KLCC time many ppl die also not reported... accident do happen in construction Some more nowadays everyone easy access To internet, news spread faster and more coverage compare last time

Based on your statement "I heard the injured residents dead? pls correct me if i'm wrong.", unfortunately there are some people will just capture the "INJURED RESIDENT DEAD", they will just ignore the other part of your statement, this is how fake news starts to go viral nowadays.. I have no mean to starts an argument here, just my 2 cents though..

Went to Sentul sales gallery yesterday. And sales for Block B, Unit B (2 bedroom) seems to be quite ok. Can't say the same for the larger units. But this is all just based on sticker la Also, Zoomed and cropped.  The house that got affected by the fallen crane. It seems that they really work fast to kaodim the issue. But according to the sales feller that was at the gallery, work is already progressing again. Maybe small jobs still in progress kut. But heavy machinery ceased? Cannot confirm. Cuz the fallen crane is still there, and hoarding is not repaired yet. Also, wide view. Take Rembo Motorsports as the landmark This post has been edited by legaia_green: Dec 30 2019, 09:55 AM
