MASJID TANAH, MALAYSIA — A man unfortunately had to meet his maker after having an accident at a meat factory in Malaysia.
According to the Star, a 47-year-old Nepalese worker was involved in the incident at a meat processing facility near Masjid Tanah.
An official from the Malacca fire department said that the man was doing maintenance with three other workers in the morning at the factory on December 30.
