Following the unfortunate death of the late Dr. Liew Boon Horng (one of the youngest corporate figures in our country) a few weeks ago due to construction safety negligence, our local authorities have been bombarded with letters of complaints, concerns and anger by the public. In this case it is obvious that the developers and government bodies should be held responsible for safety negligence.
Three days after this incident, I could not believe my eyes when I saw the pictured parking lot open for use. This is the construction site of an on going project right next to Mid Valley. There was actually a line of cars turning into the building, or half a building so to speak (by the way, you also have to pay to park here). I have yet seen any complaints of this in the papers - perhaps it's because no tragedy has happened yet, plus this place is a bonus to those who cannot seem to wait another ten minutes to get a spot in real parking lot. So what if someone gets hurt this time? While it is the fault of the developers for opening grounds for danger, is your life not your own responsibility as well?
