The Jaya Supermarket building collapsed during demolition work, killing 7 workers. An investigation found the contractor did not obtain proper approval for demolition and used unsafe methods. The contractor was charged but faced small fines that were unlikely to prevent future incidents. Victims' families could not claim losses as the report was classified. Stricter regulations and oversight are needed to prioritize safety in demolition projects and hold contractors accountable.

- 7. CASE STUDY
- 8. Background of Case Study Built in 1974, it was one of the first supermarkets in Petaling Jaya and has survived the many facets of development until now. The shopping centre was involved in a controversy in the early 1990s when it built its present 10-storey car park extension - four storeys higher than what the building plans approved by the then Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MPPJ). The building has four storeys of retail units, five storeys of office units and four storeys of carparks. The building has been earmarked for redevelopment, where it will be demolished and rebuilt with better-planned features like loading bays, access roads and security.

It was on the process of the reconstruction of a four-storey complex and basement parking along Jalan Semangat. People around there saw that six cranes falling down along with the building. Claimed the lives of seven Indonesian construction workers. Three others were injured.
- 10. Reasons of the Collapse • Initial investigations showed that the contractor, Pembinaan C.W Yap Sdn Bhd, did not get the greenlight from the Department Of Safety and Health (DOSH) to start demolition, although it did get approval from the Petaling Jaya City Council to carry out the work. • Investigation also state that the contractor not use the proper methods for demolish the building. • Indicated overloading caused by heavy machines may have triggered the collapse. • Eight heavy demolition tractors were in the building when the incident occurred. • Nine mini excavators were to be hoisted on the building’s two roofs — three at the ninth floor and six at the fourth floor roofs.
- 14. Action Taken • A month after the incident, the state government blacklisted the owner and firms (6) involved in the redevelopment of the Jaya Supermarket. Jaya Section Fourteen Sdn Bhd (land owner and developer) DP Architects Sdn Bhd (that submitted the building plan) Meinhardht (M) Sdn Bhd (engineering company) Pembinaan CW Yap Sdn Bhd (contractor) Jurutera Perunding Sdn Bhd (engineering contractor) DLS Management (project manager).
- 15. Syarikat Pembinaan C.W Yap Sdn Bhd, the main contractor in charge of demolition and reconstruction at the site was charged at the Sessions Court under Section 17(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994. Sub-contractor Lian Hup Earth Work and Construction Sdn Bhd was charged under Section 15 (1) of the same Act for failing, as employer, to ensure safety, health and welfare of all employees during work.
- 16. The companies face a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both upon conviction. Housing and Local Government deputy minister Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin had said that the information in the report was classified under the Official Secrets Act (OSA). He slammed the classification of the report over the incident that involved public interest, adding that this had prevented parties affected by the collapse to claim for losses.
- 17. Demolition Regulation Demolition is dealt with under the Building Act 1984. Any person who intends to carry out the demolition of a building must inform the local authority. No one can start demolition work unless the local authority has been notified. It requires six weeks prior notice to be given to the Local Authority Building Control before demolition begins.
- 18. The Local Authority Building Control may decide to issue a notice within six weeks on receipt of the notification to specify conditions that need to be met which may include precautions to protect adjoining properties and the public. Demolition work must also comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 and a health and safety plan produced by the principal contractor.
- 19. Summary of Cases Study Did not get • Still continue to the demolition process approval from DOSH. Not follow the demolition • Building collapsed. regulation No compensation • The victim cannot claim their losses because no approval from DOSH. for all the victims
- 20. No • Not consider the weight of responsibility on the safety in the crane that will effect workplace the stability of the building The fine • They will do the same imposed is not commensurate thing again .

- 24. Utilitarianism • Definition: actions that serve to maximize human well-being. Balance the need of society with the need of individual and what will provide the most benefit to the most people. • Good: They will built a new supermarket that give benefit to society (after demolition) complete all the necessary things in daily live. • Bad: Environmental Issues(not follow the demolition regulation-collapsed)
- 25. Safety and Risk Safety is a value of judgment ,but precise SAFET because in many cases we can readily Y distinguish a safe design from an unsafe One. Risk is a key element in engineering design RISK ,it is impossible to design anything to be completely risk free. Engineer have a responsibility to ensure that their work is conduct in the most environmentally safe manner possible. EXPLAINATI there was no mention of explosives being used in the method statement. ON The contractors structure were did not dismiss the possibility of the building crumbling if the wrong anchors .
- 26. Virtue Ethics • define as moral distinction and goodness. Definition • The engineers not monitor during demolition process. • They not consider the weight of the machine Irresponsible • They not thinking about the environmental situation

Discussion • The government should take other pro-active steps to avoid future disasters. • They seem to be charged only under OSHA if they are found guilty. • The max fine is just RM50k or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both upon convinction.That really is nothing for these companies. • Proper risk assessment is the most fundamental issue of commitment to safety.
- 32. We can take a cue from neighboring Singapore. Singapore Building Control Act 1989 introduced several new measures to regulate the construction industry. In regulating the design and supervision of a construction building, a developer must appoint an Accredited Checker, Their duties are to evaluate, analyze and review the structural design in the plans of any building works and perform such original calculations. The Accredited Checker must be independent in that he must have no professional or financial interest in the building works.
- 33. Conclusion • In summary, we are able to see and appreciate that construction liability is a complex issue. • Finding a cause of a collapse of a building is never easy. For most of the time it will be a guessing game or a process of elimination. • With so many uncertainties and issues at hand, it is best for the Government to take pro- active steps to better regulate the construction industry. • The developments in Singapore would be a good starting point for us to compare and emulate.
