Some residents of Flat PKNS Tapak Maha in Taman Datuk Harun, Petaling Jaya have transformed their ground floor units into fully fledged houses, which is a blatant violation of strata property regulations.

Living spaces have been expanded to include gardens and car porches – encroaching upon drain reserves and manholes, awnings installed, and road reserves and common spaces cordoned off with gates placed outside designated stratified plots.
