KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 11): MMC-Gamuda KVMRT (T) Sdn Bhd said a Bangladeshi worker died yesterday evening while another two are in critical condition today following the Bandar Malaysia South Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) site explosion here.

Bandar Malaysia South is one of the 11 underground stations under the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line. MMC-Gamuda is the underground work package contractor for the project.

"We regret to inform that of the three injured, one succumbed to the injuries and passed away last night. Two others are critical. The cause of the incident will be made known when the investigation is fully completed," MMC-Gamuda said in a statement today.

MMC-Gamuda confirmed in an earlier statement that the incident at around 5pm yesterday seriously injured the three general workers who were doing house-keeping work outside the immediate work area at the Bandar Malaysia South MRT site.

Today, Bernama reported that police confirmed the explosion at the MRT station construction site in Bandar Malaysia was from an old unexploded bomb from the Second World War.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Amar Singh Ishar Singh confirmed the matter when contacted yesterday.

"From initial investigations, an old bomb from the Second World War suddenly exploded when construction works were being carried out," he said.
