If PJDLink were to come up, any of these incidents can happen.. are we really to allow these to occur? 

Malaysia's construction industry often gets a bad press. And deservedly so. 

Consider Sunday's incident at the Middle Ring Road 2 in Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuala Lumpur, where a parapet wall slab fell onto a moving car. Fortunately, the driver escaped with injuries.

Last year, a crane operator died at a construction site when the vehicle he was operating collapsed on him. The two accidents didn't just happen. They were caused. So were the others in the history of the Malaysian construction industry.

And somewhere in the cause, there lurks a human agency. Call it negligence, lack of enforcement, or even greed, but where there are unsafe materials or machines, errant men are not far behind.
