Our Nation is
changing. We now have individuals who will take responsibility when things go
wrong under their watch....and do the honorable thing....resign.
The CEO of MRT Corp,
Dato Azhar Abdul Hamid is one such individual. He does not wait for an
investigation to find the cause of the accident. He does not wait to finish
unfinished business he might have within MRT Corp. He does wait for MRT Corp to
find a replacement. He resigns with immediate effect...he takes
responsibility over the fatal incident where three Bangladeshi workers were
killed when a concrete span at an MRT site collapsed....and he promised that he
would see the case through and see that the families of the three deceased
workers would be given justice.
And he said "I
was told that some security measures were not followed by the sub-contractors
and if that really is the case, I will make sure MRT Corp never works with them
again,"
This is how it
should with the CEO or any company....MAS included. When things go wrong you
take responsibility.

PETALING JAYA: MRT Corp CEO Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid has resigned over Monday night's construction site accident in Kota Damansara that claimed three lives.
"As of tomorrow, I am no longer the CEO," he told a press conference at the site here Tuesday.
Azhar said he had always been very strict over safety measures at MRT sites but such incidents had occurred over and over again.
"I have done my best, but I have evidently failed and therefore will be handing over my duties.
"I was told that some security measures were not followed by the sub-contractors and if that really is the case, I will make sure MRT Corp never works with them again," he said.
He said that despite his departure from the company, he would see the case through and ensure that the families of the deceased be given justice.
Three Bangladeshi workers were killed when a concrete span at the site collapsed at 8.30pm.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that MRT Corp's stakeholder relations and land management director Haris Fadzilah Hassan would take over until the Government appoints a new CEO.
