Bukit Antarabangsa making the international news

Highland Towers tragedy in 1993, and fifteen years on and what have we learnt? We should see the latest mishap in Bukit Antarabangsa as a wake-up call for the authorities to stop hillside development. Naturally residents at Medan Damansara took the opportunity to hammer home the point. Read here.

Also read here. Interesting to note the developers were interested in the climate of economic investment instead of investing in the survival of the human race. Business interests override everything else. We are talking about human lives here...read here

Please leave yr bank account number. I'd like to support your legal fees to fight against the developer in court. The time has come to end greed and glutony with these developers.

Save the hills, save our lives.

It perplexes me everytime i hear such incidences whereby precious lives are lost due to human greed. There are ample incidences to warrant concrete actions by the government. On a hindsight, I am actually quite surprise that the buyers still think it is safe for them to purchase such properties and live there.
