IN the past few days, a few accidents involving construction sites and construction equipment have taken place. Thankfully, the people involved managed to narrowly escape with their lives. However, the Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) is appalled that these accidents even happened in the first place.
Every time there is an accident, we ask why it happened. Was it a freak accident or negligence? If it was negligence, then negligence on whose part? Was it the developer, the contractors, construction workers; was it the authorities themselves?
