Take action before another innocent life is lost

THE recent spate of tragic falls involving young children from high-rise buildings across Malay­sia is a harrowing reminder of a fundamental failing in our urban landscape.

Each incident – a seven-year-old in Puchong, Selangor; a two-year-old in Putrajaya; and just days ago, a four-year-old in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur – is a stark, agonising reminder that something is wrong with how we’re safeguarding our youngest in this increasingly vertical world.
