The parents of the two 14-year-old girls who were found dead at the abandoned Sungai Pari Flats in Buntong, Ipoh, are urging the authorities to demolish the long-abandoned building without further delay. Grieving over the tragic loss of their daughters, they believe the abandoned flats pose a danger to the community and should be removed to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
The tragedy has reignited concerns among residents over the condition of the abandoned flats, which have long been associated with trespassing and other unsafe activities. Community members have repeatedly voiced concerns about the neglected structure, saying it has become a safety hazard for the surrounding neighbourhood.
Calls for the demolition have also gained renewed attention after the Perak Indian Traders Association previously offered to carry out the demolition at no cost. (Read Full Article here). However, the process has yet to move forward, prompting fresh appeals from the victims’ families and the public for immediate action.
While police continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths, the grieving parents hope their daughters’ passing will serve as a turning point for authorities to act swiftly. They say demolishing the abandoned flats would not only eliminate a long-standing public safety risk but also help ensure that no other family has to endure a similar tragedy.
