A FREQUENTLY malfunctioning lift in an apartment at Taman Medan Jaya has left its residents on edge.
According to tenant Ismail Abdul Hamid, the lift dropped from the seventh to fifth floor last week with several people on board. Thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident.
The residents had previously met with Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian to discuss the issue as the lift frequently breaks down, reported Sinar Harian.
“I work shifts and often come back late at night. It’s frightening to take the lift alone because if anything happens, no one would know about it,” said tenant Nur Izzati Kamaruddin, adding that the lift lights were often dim.
Another tenant, Mohd Nor Osman, said that the lift’s frequent breakdowns affected those living on the top floors the most as they had no choice but to use the stairs.
> A band of four hoodlums was arrested again during a raid as part of Ops Lejang – less than a year after being released from prison.
The four had been sent to prison twice before for crimes ranging from breaking and entering, stealing motorcycles as well as drug abuse.
The culprits, from Kampung Gong Tok Nasek, Kuala Terengganu, include two brothers aged 22 and 27, reported Berita Harian.
