First casualty reported in HDB Construction in Punggol.

It was reported that a Malaysian worker was killed and three others ( a Thai, a Chinese and a Bangladeshi ) were injured while dismantling a tower crane.

This is supposed to be the first reported fatal incident since construction began some seven years ago.

The removal of the tower crane signifies that the main building structure had been completed and there should be no further lifting.

What's left to be done will be internal fittings, painting and other minor work before buyers started moving in.

Do you know the name of this BTO project

Hi Tom,
Is it true ?

From Yahoo News.

SINGAPORE : The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has ordered Kay Lim Construction to stop work at the site where a crane accident killed one worker and injured three others on Wednesday evening.

The ministry’s Occupational Safety and Health Division responded immediately to the crane incident at the construction worksite in Punggol Central.

Preliminary investigations showed that five workers were dismantling a tower crane when the boom of the crane gave way and fell to the ground.

One worker was killed. The 32—year—old Malaysian was extricated by SCDF officers and was pronounced dead by paramedics at 6.05pm.

Three other foreign workers — a Thai, a Chinese and a Bangladeshi — were injured and were sent to Changi General Hospital for observation.
