KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — The process to recover the body of one of three workers killed in yesterday’s gantry crane collapse incident at the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) construction site in Cheras was continuing today.

Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department director Nordin Pauzi said firefighters were waiting for the contractor to stablise the building structure, which is expected to take seven to nine hours.

“We are waiting for the contractor to carry out their work before we continue with the recovery process because the beams are heavy,” he told Bernama today.

Meanwhile, Cheras district police chief ACP Mohamed Mokhsein Mohamed Zon said police were still deployed at the scene to monitor the situation.

“We have also set up a mobile station to facilitate monitoring and control,” he added. — Bernama
