Bridge tragedy: Parents file RM105m suit against Govt, others
IPOH: The parents of the three young girls killed in the Oct 26 bridge tragedy in Kuala Dipang filed a RM105mil suit against the Government and 10 others at the High Court here on Friday.
The other respondents include the Education Ministry, the Perak Education Department, SJK (T) Mambang Diawan, SJK (T) Gopeng, GS Synergy Sdn Bhd (which sponsored the bridge), CWL Enterprise (the contractor) and others.
Last month, three primary school pupils attending a 1Malaysia camp -- N. Dina Deve and M. Devatharshini, both 11, and 12-year-old V. Divyashree -- drowned after the suspension bridge they were on collapsed into the Sungai Kampar. Nineteen other schoolchildren survived the tragedy.
Two committees were established to investigate the incident, one under the Education Ministry and the other under the Perak Pakatan Rakyat.
The ministry’s committee is expected to file its report soon, while the Pakatan committee said that the collapsed suspension bridge was an illegal structure and the teachers who were supposed to have been supervising them were not present.
