Despite tragedy that killed 7 workers, Malaysians continue to demolish without permits.
Even after the former Jaya Supermarket tragedy that killed seven workers, a contractor carrying out demolition work at the former police quarters in the Damansara New Village insists on doing so without a valid permit.
During a visit by StarMetro to the site at the village in Section 17, Petaling Jaya, on Saturday, the area was hoarded up and heavy machinery has started demolishing work on one of the buildings.
Several workers in safety hats were also seen inside the other building.
The workers stopped work when Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) councillor Mak Khuin Weng arrived at the site. He said the contractor should not be doing any work because they did not apply for a permit from the council.
