Yahoo! News Singapore, 18 Jul 2012The tragedy at a Singapore subway construction site that left two foreign workers dead and eight others injured was a “localised accident”, albeit serious, said Minister of State for Manpower and National Development Tan Chuan-Jin on Wednesday evening.
Speaking to reporters as the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) wrapped up its search and extrication operation, Tan stressed that there are no safety concerns in the vicinity as well as for the rest of the Downtown Line (DTL) Bugis MRT project, which will continue.
“The public can be reassured there are no causes of concern in terms of the public infrastructure, the buildings, roads and so on in the surrounding areas,” he said. Full story
