KUALA PILAH, Oct 22 — The Works Ministry has yet to receive the results of an investigation into the incident of a car being hit by a concrete slab that fell from the construction of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) on September 19.

Its Deputy Minister, Datuk Eddin Syazlee Shith said that the process requires time to ensure that it is done comprehensively, thus determining any form of action to be taken against the companies involved.

He said that such an incident should serve as a lesson to other contractors in ensuring that safety issues involving road users are given the utmost priority.

"This is also aimed at ensuring prevention of the incident from recurring.

"We will not compromise on the safety of the public, always improving it from time to time,” he told reporters after a working visit and handover of thermal scanners, here, today.

On September 19, a woman cheated death after a one-metre square concrete slab from the construction of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE), fell and hit her car while she was driving along the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), Kuala Lumpur.

Earlier, Eddin Shazlee, who is also Kuala Pilah MP, presented 15 units of KipleLive thermal scanners to schools and public buildings in Kuala Pilah as a measure to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. — Bernama
