After Taman Desa condo collapse, residents’ coalition wants govt to revisit their previous concerns about project

A group of 11 Taman Desa residents even filed a lawsuit against the Kuala Lumpur mayor to stop the construction of The Address, as the project was to be built on land that was marked for utilities and not for development. “In the Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 the land which The Address is built on, is still marked as a green lung.

Although the Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad said there was a high possibility the collapse was caused by weak foundation and structure, residents remain adamant the project should not have been approved in the first place.“We even sent a memorandum to the FT Minister’s office shortly after he took office in November 2018, but we still have not heard back from them,” said Phang.

Meanwhile, another resident who was one of the first few to alert surrounding neighbours about the collapse said the approval for The Address came as a surprise to Taman Desa residents. He currently resides in 1 Desa, which is a 13-storey condominium facing phase two of The Address which is where the collapse happened.“Prior to the proposal of The Address, Taman Desa was already very congested.
