Dua pekerja kilang ais maut manakala 18 lagi cedera selepas terhidu gas ammonia yang bocor di premis itu di Seksyen 36 di sini, pagi ini.

Ketua Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Seksyen 15 Shah Alam, Timbalan Penguasa Bomba Azmel Kamarudin berkata dalam kejadian kira-kira 5.11 pagi itu, kedua-dua mangsa, warga asing yang identiti belum dikenal pasti, meninggal dunia di tempat kejadian.

"Kedua-dua pekerja yang maut itu dipercayai terhidu terus dengan gas ammonia yang bocor dari tangki simpanan bahan ammonia ketika mereka melakukan kerja rutin.

Consider This: Multidimensional Poverty in the 21st Century

Despite decades of progress, poverty continues to trap millions in cycles of deprivation, and conventional measures often fail to reflect the full scope of their struggles. The Multidimensional Poverty Index, developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, offers a revolutionary way to understand and address poverty by looking at deprivations in education, health, and living standards. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. Together with Professor James Foster, she developed the Alkire-Foster method for measuring multidimensional poverty.
