KUALA BESUT: Four workers, believed to be Myanmar nationals, are feared to have been buried alive after a building under construction at a Pulau Perhentian resort near here collapsed this morning.
Terengganu fire and rescue department assistant director of operations Basri Kamarazaman said four other Myanmar workers were injured in the incident.
“We received a call from the public about the incident at 7.34am and dispatched a team from the Besut fire station to the scene,” he said in a statement.
He said rescuers were still searching for the four trapped under the rubble, adding that sniffer dogs and air units had been requested to assist.
Basri said the injured were taken to the island’s government clinic.
