Highland Towers 1211

2day also the sad memorized day,
as de residents whose lived in Ulu Kelang, Selangor..

Cz 2day was de 15 anniversary's
of The Highland Towers Condominium collapse incident...
It was an apartment (building) collapse,
that occurred on Dec 11, 1993, around 1:30pm,
in Tmn Hillview, U.Kelang, Selangor.

This incident was shocked de ppl in country,
as tis was de 1st time landslide incident happen,
after de 50's Merdeka anniversary.

The collapse of one block caused the deaths of 48 people,
include Former DPM Tun Musa Hitam's wife n son,
and led to the complete evacuation of the other two blocks due to safety concerns.
The Highland Towers were three blocks of twelve-story apartments,

each block was respectively named Block 1, Block 2 and Block 3.

Block 1 collapsed when 10 continous days of rainfall led to a landslide,
after the retaining wall at the Tower's carpark failed.

Hope tat, de landslide case in Bkt Antarabangsa, Ulu Kelang,
was de last case of it, as we can't c more ppl who died on it,
jz because of de landslide..

People willing 2 spend money 2 buy houses,
are because wan 2 hv a rest n protect them from de wild animal,
bt they didn't hv 2 pay the risk abt tis incident..
Hopefully, de authority can think abt the public feeling..

Don't earn tis type of money, safety FIRST!!


Block 1 collapsed, other 2 blocks were til standing..


Sad memorized...
