This is the seventh reported workplace death in the period between July and October.
The worker was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic. The driver of the truck, a 41-year-old man, was arrested for causing death by a negligent act.
The police and the SCDF said they were alerted to the incident at about 7.50am on Oct 30.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said the truck was entering the Marina East site for refuelling when it struck the Thai worker, who was employed by Koh Kock Leong Enterprise.
The civil engineering and construction company is also the occupier of the work site. This means the company has control over the premises, which is being used to store excavated material.
