Urgent repairs needed at flats to prevent suicides


Lim says the party will apply for funds from the state government to repair the access gate system as well as instal CCTV cameras at the Templer Flats.

Seremban MCA secretary Lim Kok Kian, who is widely tipped to contest the Lobak state seat in the upcoming election, said the repairs were necessary as the most recent suicide was the 71st case at the 54-year-old flats.

A 20-year-old female had jumped to her death from one of the 14-storey blocks.
