Low-cost flats in Selangor lack basic safety amenities


The broken staircase railing is causing a safety hazard especially for children who regularly use the stairs at Block H PPR flats in Lembah Subang.

Shelter and security are two basic rights for humans but in many cases in the Klang Valley, shelter for the lower-income group seems to lack the basic safety requirements.

The five-year-old boy who fell to his death last week from the sixth floor of the Kota Damansara People’s Housing Project (PPR) flats, the second child to have fallen from the highrise in less than two years, was a reminder of the tragic consequences when those safety features are overlooked.
