He had just shared a “kopi break” with his colleague earlier.

It was the last time Mr Shamin, 26, would see his fellow construction worker from Bangladesh alive.

His 28-year-old co-worker, who was known as Mr Ronju Ahmmed, was one of two people killed when the boom arm of a tower crane at a work site at Coleman Street broke and crashed onto the roof of the former City Hall building yesterday morning.

Large concrete slabs used as counterweights for the crane then slid off the machinery, smashing through a freestanding scaffold which had workers on it.

A Thai and a Bangladeshi worker were killed, a statement from the National Arts Council said.

Four others were injured, two seriously.
