DEFECTS in new buildings or structures are so common that Malaysians do not bat an eye anymore, or one could say they are immune to news of these defects when highlighted.  

The conundrums are, firstly, the construction integrity of the structures, shoddy quality of workmanship and supervision, and, secondly, the maintenance of these structures. The construction integrity relates to the ability of the buildings or structures to sustain its loads or function as designed or required structurally.
