A crane has been used to rescue an unconscious Malaysian yard worker from a vessel at Kampung Acheh.

The New Straits Times said the 50-year-old man fainted while working on a large ship on Tuesday.

Pictures showed a crane lifting the worker on a stretcher.

Local fire chief Mohd Zaki Zainol said: “When the firemen arrived, the victim had regained consciousness, but he was too weak to walk.
