Malaysia meat mincer accident kills Nepalese worker

The Malacca fire department’s Zulkhairani Ramli said the 47-year-old man was working at a meat-processing factory near Masjid Tanah when the incident occurred.

“The victim was doing maintenance with three other workers when suddenly the machine was turned on,” he said.

“The machine caught him at his waist. Because of his injuries, he died on the spot.”

Zulkhairani said authorities took about 30 minutes to extricate the man’s body from the machine and that officials were still investigating the matter.
