Four foreign workers, including three Bangladeshis, have been killed and 10 others are still missing following a landslide in George Town, capital of the northwest Malaysian state of Penang, authorities said on Saturday. Two other workers escaped with light injuries, reports Reuters. Penang fire and rescue department director Saadon Mokhtar said most of those trapped at the construction site, where two 49-storey condominium towers are being built, were believed to be foreign workers from Indonesia and Bangladesh, including Rohingyas. One Malaysian, the construction site supervisor, was believed to be buried as well. Tanjung Bungah, north of Penang’s capital George Town, is home to beaches and some hotels, and is popular with expatriate residents.
