Malaysian builders hard at work

With skyscrapers shooting up into the sky and a new train station being built, these builders should have been hard at work.

But far from being hard at it, this workman in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was fast asleep in his digger's cab - right alongside a busy dual carriageway.

The sound of the traffic was deafening but it didn't stop him snoozing on the job.

The site, right next to the Kuala Lumpur national museum close to KL Sentral, should be undergoing a rapid redevelopment.

But it really was a case of tools down, hard hats off and pull off those wellies. When we ventured into the nearby botanical gardens we spotted three more workmen sleeping through the afternoon. Unbelievable!

EDIT: It has been suggested these builders were on a siesta so they could get out of the sunshine. This is probably the case with the workmen in the park. However, the man in the digger was fast asleep at 11am as work went on around him
