    Enforcement officers from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) paid a surprise visit to several families living in PPR Pekan Kepong and PPR Batu Muda in Kuala Lumpur. The visit was prompted by complaints of obstructed public spaces outside the residents’ units. As a result, the officers confiscated belongings such as tables, chairs, and cupboards from these families in accordance with the Public Housing (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) By-laws 2000.

    According to a DBKL officer interviewed by StarMetro, the operation, named Pindah Halangan (Remove Obstacles), will be consistently carried out. The officer warned residents to either remove their belongings left outside their units or face the consequences. When contacted, another officer stated, “Remove it, or we will remove it for you and it’s not going to be cheap.”

    In addition to cluttering the corridors with unwanted items, some residents have been using the PPR’s store rooms and riser room as personal storage spaces. The officer highlighted the silliness and danger of this practice, emphasizing that the riser room is strictly meant for the fire protection system and is off limits. Furthermore, a cluttered corridor can pose a serious risk during emergencies, such as fires, as it can obstruct or delay the actions of the fire department.

    The officer also mentioned that conflicts between residents have arisen due to some individuals’ selfish behavior. He expressed hope that people would develop a greater understanding of sharing public spaces.

    It is crucial for residents to comply with the regulations imposed by DBKL regarding the use of public spaces. Failure to do so may result in the removal of their belongings, as witnessed in the recent operation. The consistent enforcement of these regulations aims to maintain the safety and accessibility of public areas for all residents.

    Residents are urged to refrain from using the PPR’s store rooms and riser room for personal storage. Instead, these spaces should be kept clear for their intended purposes, particularly the riser room’s fire protection system. By preventing clutter and obstruction in corridors, residents can contribute to a safer living environment and facilitate prompt emergency response.

    Lastly, promoting a sense of understanding and consideration amongst residents is crucial in ensuring harmonious living in public housing complexes like PPR Pekan Kepong and PPR Batu Muda. Cooperation and respect for shared spaces can help prevent altercations and promote a more conducive living environment.
