Making do in PPR flats


LAST week, a social activist who is a close friend of mine asked me to accompany him for a visit to the PPR (People’s Housing Project) flats owned by City Hall Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) in Sri Pantai. He wanted to show me the condition of the flats and how the B40 tenants there live.

He said he was concerned about some issues that were not being addressed by DBKL and wanted me to see them so that I could bring them to the attention of the public. I agreed and took my son along.
