On Saturday, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) issued a stop-work order following a complaint from PPR Wangsa Sari residents regarding an explosion at a condominium construction site in Wangsa Maju on November 7.
Reports indicated that the explosion was allegedly due to a structural failure in Block C of the development.
The stop-work order was issued by DBKL to the project consultants under Section 70B(2) of the Roads, Drains, and Buildings Act 1974 (Act 133).
