KUALA LUMPUR – A Bangladeshi construction worker died after being crushed by a sand barrel at a site in Bandar Pinggiran Subang today.
According to the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department, an emergency call was received today at 11.57am and a team of five from the Sg Buloh station arrived by 12.15pm.

The victim’s remains were brought to Sg Buloh Hospital for port-mortem while the case was classified as sudden death. – The Vibes, March 25, 2022
