Bangladeshi worker injured in Malaysian mall collapse

A Bangladeshi worker was injured when the concrete floor of an under-construction multi-storied mall collapsed in Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia on Wednesday, reports a Kuala Lumpur based online newspaper The Star Online.
Details of the victim, however, could not be known immediately neither from the news report nor from the labour councillor in the Bangladesh embassy there.
According to the news report, the 35-year-old man was rushed to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre and treated for injuries to his leg. The worker was alone when the floor collapsed around 11:00am (local time).
In a statement, Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad, the company building the mall, said Department of Occupational Health and Safety was informed and the company would extend its full cooperation to investigations.
On contact, the Labour Councillor Montu Kumar Biswas said they came to know about the incident over the news items published in the local media but failed to collect details of the victim till Wednesday evening.
Asked about reports, published in several online newspapers and aired in some television channels in Dhaka yesterday, claiming that seven Bangladeshi workers died in Malaysia, Montu said they did not hear any such report.
