THE recent collapse of the 12-storey residential tower block in Miami, Florida, should be a matter of concern to all condo builders, owners and management in every country and Malaysia is no exception.We should wait for the full inquiry of the cause of the disaster and learn from whatever useful lessons the tragedy can give us.
