To be fair, there are always uncertainties during construction phase

 

I think the fallen bridge should be already in use i.e. certified as safe by relevant authorities.

 

This is an unfortunate incident.

They will blame the heavy rainfall causing the bridge to collapse

 

 

you are not joking, rite?

 

A pedestrian bridge at the Perling-Pasir Gudang Highway near Taman Kobena collapsed today following a freak storm, injuring a lorry driver and damaging several vehicles. In the 4.30pm incident, Bernama reported that a lorry driver was injured, two cars and a motorcycle were damaged after the metal roofing of the bridge flew off. The metal roofing, together with its metal structures then collapsed onto the road, blocking traffic coming from both lanes of the highway.
