STATE housing committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo visited the Rifle Range flats on May 16 to get a first-hand look at the piping problems there.
At a press conference on May 21, Jagdeep said he had received around 180 complaints on leaking pipes at the flats.
The RM5 million “1Malaysia Rifle Range Housing Transformation Project” was scheduled to be completed by March but the project seems to have run into problems.
“I want the Works Department (JKR) to explain the pipe-leaking problems and explain the steps taken to solve them,” he said.
“I have also asked the department to send me an immediate report regarding this issue by May 27.”
The state has decided to take a proactive measure to solve the problem by conducting a survey at the eight blocks of buildings consisting of 3,227 unit flats.
“We hopes the residents will give their full cooperation during the survey.” said Jagdeep.-EJ-
