Hotbed of disease in the city

Broken walls and an unsecured metal bar pose a danger to residents while the filthy compound exposes them to the risk of disease.

BAHADUR Ahmad lives in a 800sq ft flat in Malayan Mansion flats in Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur. The Bangladeshi national shares the unit with 15 other men from his home country.

Bahadur and four others work at a construction site near their living quarters. The other tenants are employed in restaurants, retail shops and markets in and around the area.
