Construction of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (Suke) has been postponed until a safety audit report by an independent auditor is out.
Senior Minister of Works Fadillah Yusof said construction would only resume if the authorities are satisfied with the findings of the independent auditor on safety at the highway project site.
“Work can only restart when we are satisfied that all processes in terms of safety for workers and the public as well as all safety aspects at the site are met.
“So far, we have not received the full report from the independent auditor,” he told reporters after launching the 2021 Maintenance Contractor Development Programme in Kuala Lumpur today.
Apart from Suke, the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (Duke) and the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) would also be audited by the appointed independent auditor.
On the most recent incident, Fadillah said an investigation by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (Dosh) is still ongoing.
On March 22, three workers were killed while a member of the public was seriously injured when a component of the crane gantry fell at the Suke construction site near Puncak Banyan, Persiaran Alam Damai, Cheras.
