Kejadian dilaporkan berlaku pada pukul 3.15 petang 21hb December, apabila beberapa orang pekerja sedang menyiapkan struktur bumbung kaca. Empat dilaporkan cedera akibat terkena serpihan kaca. Salah seorang daripada mereka adalah warga tempatan, manakala yang lain warga Bangladesh.

Apa nak jadi di negeri Terengganu? Nampaknya tahun 2009 berakhir dengan berita tidak enak untuk rakyat Terengganu dan amnya semua penduduk Malaysia. Tolong pantau kontraktor-kontraktor di Terengganu!

HULU TERENGGANU: Tiga buruh warga Bangladesh dan seorang buruh tempatan cedera apabila penghadang cahaya kaca di terminal bas baru Kuala Berang yang sedang dalam pembinaan runtuh hari ini.

Dalam kejadian pada kira-kira pukul 3.05 petang itu, difahamkan terdapat 15 pekerja di kawasan berkenaan dengan dua daripadanya sedang memasang kaca sebagai bumbung penghadang cahaya.

Kejadian itu menyebabkan dua buruh yang berada di atas bumbung dan dua lagi yang berada di bawah cedera ringan di kaki serta tangan akibat terkena serpihan kaca itu.

Penyelia tapak pembinaaan berkenaan, Zahir Hariri berkata kesemua yang cedera dihantar ke Hospital Hulu Terengganu dan dirawat sebagai pesakit luar.

"Ketika kejadian saya berada di pejabat tapak pembinaan dan saya terdengar bunyi kuat dari arah terminal itu. Apabila keluar, saya lihat kaca yang dijadikan bumbung penghadang cahaya jatuh dan pecah," katanya kepada pemberita di tempat kejadian.

Beliau berkata kerja pemasangan kaca yang dimulakan sejak seminggu lepas itu hampir 80 peratus siap.

Kejadian dipercayai berlaku disebabkan penyambungan panel yang tidak sempurna pada penghadang cahaya itu, katanya.

Terminal bas berharga RM4.2 juta yang mula dibina pada Mac 2008 dan sepatutnya siap awal tahun depan itu merupakan projek Majlis Daerah Hulu Terengganu. - BERNAMA

KUALA BERANG: Four workers were injured when the almost completed glass roof of the new bus and taxi terminal here collapsed.

The RM4.2mil Kuala Berang Express Bus and Taxi Terminal is the fourth public building in Terengganu to suffer from structural problems in the past six months.

In the incident which occurred at 3.15pm yesterday, the 150m-long roof — also called a skylight reflector and made up of hundreds of glass panes — came tumbling down in a loud crash when the steel structure holding it up gave way.

Fifteen workers were installing the glass panes at the main entrance of the terminal during the collapse.

Kuala Berang is a major transport hub in the interior of Terengganu and is the main hop-off point for those visiting Tasik Kenyir.

The four who were injured yesterday — a Malaysian supervisor and three Bangladeshis — were cut by pieces of glass when the panes smashed into pieces.

Two of them were working on top of the roof while the other two were standing below.

They were rushed to the Hulu Terengganu Hospital where they received out-patient treatment.

Site supervisor Zahir Hariri, when met at his office close to the construction site, said he heard a thunderous noise while he was attending to some work.

“I dashed out only to discover the glass roof had crumbled. The injured workers were lying on the ground,” he said.

He said work on the 27.4m-wide roof started last week and was almost nearing completion.

He said only wiring work was being done at the terminal before its scheduled opening in February.

“Preliminary checks revealed that the incident could have occurred due to shoddy workmanship,” he added.

Construction of the terminal began in March last year.

The project is under the jurisdiction of the Hulu Terengganu District Council.

Council president Mohd Nor Ibrahim declined to comment.

In June, the roof of the RM300mil Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium collapsed. The stadium was only a year old.

A month later, the Public Works Department closed the RM18mil Batu Burok Aquatic Complex after declaring it unsafe.

Following the two incidents, the PWD was sent to check the Sultan Mahmud Airport, which was also just a year old at the time, and discovered that the roof was leaking. - The Star
