Perunding KAA Sdn Bhd was charged under Section 15 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 in which as an employer, it had failed to provide engineering calculations for the temporary slope where the fatal landslide occurred and therefore had failed to ensure the safety, health and welfare of all workers at the site.
Khoo and Perunding KAA, represented by Teoh Ting Wei, had both claimed trial to the charge when they were first charged with the offence early this year. The prosecution had rejected the terms of negotiations submitted by the two accused and they decided to change their plea today.
