Focus on safety of buildings


THE collapse of the 12-storey beachfront condominium building in Miami, Florida on June 24, killing at least nine people and leaving 100 people still missing as of Sunday, should raise concern over the safety of buildings in our own country.

Could a similar incident occur in Malaysia, where there are many pre-colonial buildings that are still being occupied?
