Dear Editor,
In connection to the report in SN on March 4, captioned ‘GWI failed to act on request for fence to keep trespassers out,’ we wish to thank you for publishing the article, which give the details of our precautions and the future safety measures planned. However we wish to make a clarification since the caption of the article would direct the reader to think that GWI was responsible for the incident. In our opinion this is not the case, and the drowning is mainly due to persons disregarding UEM security signs and continuous direction on the project site. Even though repairs were carried out to the fence, the trespassers continued to break it to gain access to the site.
Should you require further clarification please feel free to contact us.
Yours faithfully,
S Mahendran
Project Engineer
