Director Pleads Not Guilty

PETALING JAYA: The director of construction company CW Yap Sdn Bhd has been charged with failing to ensure the safety of others in connection with the collapse of the Jaya Supermarket last year.

Yap Choon Wai, 54, pleaded not guilty to the offence at a Sessions Court here yesterday.

The supermarket, a famous landmark in Petaling Jaya, collapsed during demolition work and seven people were killed on May 28 last year.

Yap was charged in his capacity as the company director and an employer, for failing to ensure that non-employees, namely four workers and three civilians, were not exposed to safety and health risks.

The four workers were identified as A. Suki Nahru, a 54-year-old Malaysian, and Indonesians Mukhamad Maskur, Fendi and Anwarudin. The three civilians were Rouf, Fauzan and Maddekip.

Yap was accused of failing to comply with the work safety system provided in demolition works for buildings.

The alleged offence was committed on May 28 last year at about 5pm at the site of the proposed project to demolish the building at Jalan Semangat.

Sessions Court Judge Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz granted Yap bail of RM5,000 with one surety.

The judge fixed Oct 27 for the case to be mentioned.

She also allowed for Yap’s case to be mentioned together with two previous cases which were related to the charge.

Last Tuesday, two construction companies, including Yap’s, were charged in separate Sessions Courts with failing to ensure the safety of others.

Yap and Jason Hee Kok Hing, of Lian Hup Earth Work and Construction Sdn Bhd, appeared on behalf of their companies and pleaded not guilty to the offences.

Yap was charged under Section 17(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 which is punishable under Section 19 of the same Act.

Those convicted under this section could be fined up to RM50,000 or jailed for a term not exceeding two years or both.

Yap was represented by defence counsel Goh Keng Tat while Deputy Public Prosecutor Aida Farihan Mohd Nawi prosecuted.

Demolition Works In Order, Says MBPJ

Demolition Works In Order, Says MBPJ

THE two construction companies charged in the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court over the collapse of Jaya Supermarket in Section 14, Petaling Jaya, are handling the demolition of the remaining structure.

However, the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) did not see any problem with the companies handling the rest of the job.

MBPJ public relations officer Zainun Zakaria said the companies had obtained the necessary approvals from the council to proceed with the remaining phases of the demolition.

“The council’s various departments have stringently assessed their applications, procedures and methods recommended for the demolition and gave approval,” she said.

She added that the council would respect the court procedure that would find out if the companies had failed to meet safety standards when they demolished the main building last year.

Directors Yap Choon Wai of CW Yap Sdn Bhd and Jason Hee Kok Hing, of Lian Hup Earth Work and Construction Sdn Bhd, appeared on behalf of their companies and pleaded not guilty to the offences.

Meanwhile, residents and business operators nearby felt that it was time to move on.

Section 14A Rukun Tetangga chairman Tee Kee Tian said the mishap had brought about various woes for traders and residents in the area, among them parking problems and a drastic drop in business.

Tee also said it was time to bring down the remaining structure safely.

The structure collapsed on May 28 last year and killed seven workers.

It was claimed that the accident happened before demolition works could start. Residents from 12 houses along Jalan 14/15 were evacuated following the incident and were put up at hotels in the area.

Meanwhile, Selangor MCA chairman Datuk Donald Lim said the matter had dragged on for too long.

He said it was unfair to the residents and business owners, who had been facing inconvenience as well as business loss as a result of the incident.

“The state and local governments should have acted faster and not wait until a year to resolve this matter.”
