KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has called on Malaysians to pray for victims of the Penang Second Bridge collapse incident.
“Authorities
will investigate the tragic incident. Let's focus on rescue efforts and
pray for the victims and their families,” he said in his tweet
yesterday.
One man died when the interchange ramp of the Penang Second Bridge, which is under construction in Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu, Batu Maung, collapsed at about 7.15pm on Thursday.
MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong
called for a thorough investigation into the incident, adding that if
the findings showed that negligence was the cause, the guilty party must
be held accountable.
“The structure of the bridge and the Batu
Maung interchange must also be inspected and tested to ensure that the
bridge structure remains strong,” he said, expressing sympathy to the
victims and condolences to their kin.
MCA, he said, hoped both
the federal and state governments would cooperate during this critical
time and not point fingers at each other.
