Tenants’ poor attitude the cause of many PPR problems

PETALING JAYA: Drug use, illicit trysts and a lack of civic-mindedness among tenants – these were just some of the reasons a committee of a People’s Housing Project (PPR) in Kuala Lumpur demolished “rubbish disposal rooms” in their flats.

Jane (not her real name), a resident and committee member of the 17-storey flat, said while older PPRs had rubbish chutes for tenants, hers used to have individual rubbish rooms on each floor.
