Seven units of an apartment damaged in Ipoh

Strong winds blew off the roofs of seven housing units at the Seri Kepayang Apartment in Jalan Ghazali Jawi yesterday.

A Bernama check revealed that the housing units, located on the 12th floor of the apartment not only had their roofs blown off but they also were inundated by rainwater.

One of the victims, Salina Jusoh, 54, said in the 5pm incident, she was about to make ablution to perform Asar prayer when she heard a loud noise coming from the top of her house.

“I’m still traumatised over the incident...I saw bricks being blown away outside my house and suddenly before the ceiling in my bedroom suddenly collapsed,” she told reporters today.

The mother of four said she had lived in the apartment for five years and this was the first time such an incident happened.

Salina, who is currently seeking shelter at a neighbour’s house, hoped that they would receive immediate assistance from the authorities as Hari Raya Aidilfitri draws near.

Kepayang assemblyperson Ko Chung Sen who visited the apartment said his office would provide RM500 cash aid to the affected families and added that he is also seeking assistance from the state government.

“We will also help the victims find a temporary place to stay pending completion of repair works,” he said. - Bernama
