Time and again we hear of poor workmanship that local authorities don't seem to bother about. The bulk are for low cost housing where the poor cannot afford the repairs and again are taken for a ride for their ignorance. The government never seem to take action on any developers or even black list the companies and its directors/shareholders. They always seem to get away scot free whilst the blame is being shifted round and round. Don't you think that this has to stop?
Until the next time, cheers.

Family living in fear daily
LIFE has been miserable for the Tamilarasu family from Taman Bukit Mutiara in Kajang.
S. Tamilarasu, his wife and children have been having sleepless nights after their house started to show signs of cracking up six months ago.
After his two daughters narrowly escaped being injured when a part of the plaster ceiling in the dining room fell, Tamilarasu’s worries had increased.
He said part of the wall tiles at the kitchen had collapsed and cracks had appeared all over the house.
Empty section: Tamilarasu showing the section of the wall where the tiles had collapsed.“The cracks on the floor and the walls are widening,’’ he said.
Tamilarasu said he realised that part of his house had tilted and the flooring had become uneven.
He said he was worried for the safety of his family especially the children aged 14 and 10 years.
“My wife and I are out until late night as we are selling fish at night markets and the children are alone at home.
“I have been worrying about their safety every night,’’ he said, adding that he bought the house seven years ago from the first owner.
Yong Han Holdings spokesman William Ong said the project had been sold to another company and they were not responsible for the cracks.
He said the project was completed 13 years ago and the warranty period was over.
“There is nothing we can do about it,’’ he said, adding that the project was built on a landfill.
