The developer of a construction project in Bandar Baru Bukit Raja, Klang has been issued with a stop work order with immediate effect following the piling machine tragedy at the site today.

A piling machine there collapsed on a car, killing a couple.

Department of Occupational Safety and Health director-general Datuk Mohtar Musri said the stop work order was issued so that investigations could be carried out.

"DOSH officers are at the scene. A stop work order has been issued and the next course of action will depend on the outcome of the probe," he told Bernama.

In the 12.35pm incident, Abd Rahim Abd Rahman, 51, and his wife Nurhayati Rosli, 46, an Indonesian national, were killed on the spot after a piling machine there collapsed onto their car as it was passing by. -- BERNAMA
