Rescue personnel have managed to locate the four workers trapped under the debris of the collapsed Jaya Supermarket.
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said the workers were near to the three bodies removed from the rubble earlier.
He told reporters after visiting the site that rescue personnel continued to be hampered in their efforts due to the large amount of debris.
Rescue personnel determined the location of the workers from the canine unit and the use of scope.
"I would like to get an explanation from the contractor involved in the demolition on the methods the company has used.
"I am going to put a working paper on this incident. A task force will also be formed to probe the collapse involving the local council, police and the Fire and Rescue Department," he said.
Earlier, another body has been recovered from the rubble of the collapsed Jaya Supermarket building.
The body - believed to be an Indonesian worker - was recovered at 3.30am on Friday.
On Thursday, the building collapsed at 5pm while demolition work was going on, killing three Indonesian workers.
Two other workers were pulled out alive while four more are still trapped under the rubble.
