Construction worker electrocuted

INDONESIA: A construction worker employed on Jakarta's controversial busway project was electrocuted as he drew water from the fountain in the traffic circle at the southern end of Jl. Sudirman on Friday night.

Kamali, 28, from Purworejo in Central Java died instantly.

Police said they suspected the water was electrified by a broken electricity cable.

Concerns have been raised about safety standards as workers scramble to complete the infrastructure needed for the busway, which is expected to open on Jan. 15. --JP.
