RESIDENTS of 320 units at the Kedah Road flats, many of whom are handicapped and elderly, were forced to climb up and down the 22-storey building for four days until two of the four faulty lifts were fixed.

One of the residents, who wanted to be known only as Soundarjan, said it was the first time all four of the elevators at the flats were simultaneously out of service.
