Fallen concrete block from under-construction parking building damages five cars

Honda CRV belonging to MCMC is one of the vehicles affected by falling debris believed to be from crane hitting block on seventh floor

KUALA LUMPUR – A car was badly damaged after a concrete block fell on it from the seventh floor of an under-construction car park building at the Jelatek People’s Housing Project (PPR) here this morning. 

Bernama found that the incident caused the car’s roof to be badly damaged, as well as its front and rear windscreens, and its windows. 

The badly damaged car was a Perodua Bezza whereas four other cars were also damaged due to falling debris. 

A Jelatek PPR resident, Mohd Fadil Md Razal said the damaged Perodua Bezza belonged to his brother. 

“At the time of the incident, I heard a loud sound…as I stay in Block 9 of the apartments, I immediately rushed out to find that a concrete block had landed on my brother’s car,” he told Bernama today. 

“There were also other cars that were affected by the falling concrete block. For example, a Honda CRV suffered a cracked windscreen and a dent on the roof after being hit by falling concrete debris.” 

He said the CRV belonged to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), whose officer was on duty at the Jelatek PPR Digital Media Centre when the incident happened. 

“Part of the concrete block at the seventh floor of the project was believed to have been hit by a crane that was operating,” said MCMC deputy director Juliana Irni Jamaludin when met at the location of the incident. 

“Fortunately no one was in the car and no one suffered any injuries at the time of the incident.” 

Another resident, Mohd Asyraf Rozali said the incident was the worst to befall residents since the construction of the car park building began in 2021, and he hoped that Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) would review the safety level of the construction site. 

Asyraf, who has been living at the PPR since 1997, claimed that the construction area in question had no safety barriers or scaffolding, and hoped that DBKL would be able to properly cover all areas under construction. 

“Furthermore, the Jelatek PPR car park area which is under construction was originally earmarked for a children’s playground. So now, the area around the construction project is where the children often play because there is no playground,” he added. – January 20, 2024
