PPR flats residents paying painful price as complaints on maintenance fall on deaf ears

Temporary measure: A gap in the railing secured with a wire mesh by residents at the Kota Damansara PPR flats, where a five-year-old boy fell to his death.

CONFUSION over who should be responsible for the maintenance of the People’s Housing Project (PPR) flats in Selangor has had tragic consequences.

There have been two deaths at the Section 8 Kota Damansara PPR flats in Petaling Jaya since June 2013, involving two five-year-old boys who fell from the 14th floor and sixth floor.
