SINGAPORE (AFP): A Malaysian, one of the three people killed

workers carrying out painting work on Tuesday on the ship at
Sembawang Bethlehem Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of listed Sembawang
Shipyard, one of Singapore's top three shipyards.

The other person identified was a Singaporean, Tea King Ngang,

sub-contracting work on the ship.

Police said the identity of the third person had yet to be
ascertained.
