It's a hazard to stay in any building more than 8 stores...

The Highland Towers collapse was a tragic event that occurred on 11 Dec 1993, involved the collapse of Block 1 of the Highland Towers condo in Selangor, Malaysia. The official cause was a landslide caused by heavy rain, but we all know that shoddy workmanship by contractors that cut corners was responsible. I wonder how many more buildings of inferior quality are standing all over Malaysia.

If you stay any lower than the 4th floor, be prepared to have rats invade your home or HDB pigeon hole.
