MBMB Allocates Over RM1.8 Mln To Upgrade Lifts In Three Apartments

MELAKA, June 4 -- The Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) is upgrading the lift facilities in three apartments within the Banda Hilir state constituency here, involving an allocation of more than RM1.8 million. Mayor Datuk Shadan Othman said the three apartments are Pangsapuri Laksamana Cheng Ho, Pangsapuri Laksamana Satu and Pangsapuri Sembilan Tingkat. "Lift upgrading works in each apartment is about RM600,000, and so far, two of the apartments, namely Pangsapuri Laksamana Cheng Ho and Pangsapuri Laksamana Satu, have been upgraded, while Pangsapuri Sembilan Tingkat is still in the implementation process. "The upgrading works on the lifts should be the responsibility of the Joint Management Body (JMB) or the Management Corporation (MC), but this project was carried out via an MBMB initiative, with funding provided by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT)," he said to reporters here today. He said this after the Completion Ceremony of the Upgrading Project for the Facilities of Pangsapuri Laksamana Cheng Ho and Pangsapuri Laksamana Satu in conjunction with the Wakil Rakyat Untuk Rakyat (WRUR) Programme for the Banda Hilir state constituency. The event was also attended by Banda Hilir assemblyman Leng Chau Yen. Shadan said the upgrading works for the facilities were carried out because the existing lifts were over 30 years old and often malfunctioned, making it difficult for residents, especially the elderly, to go up and down. Meanwhile, he said many apartments under the MBMB administration can be categorised as dilapidated and need to be upgraded in various aspects of the facilities. "We will refine the matter to ensure that the facilities in the apartment can be upgraded or repaired for the comfort, safety and well-being of the residents," he said. Meanwhile, Leng, who is also Melaka deputy exco for Women, Family and Community Development said that an act, policy, or system involving the provision of a special budget needs to be established to improve facilities in all apartments that require it. She said, for example, in the Banda Hilir state constituency, many apartments are over 30 years old and require various facility improvements, including lifts, because most of the residents of these buildings are elderly and their mobility is quite difficult if the facilities are damaged. “Lifts are important facilities that need to be prioritised and require regular maintenance to ensure they are always safe to use and do not burden or inconvenience residents, especially those living on the upper floors," she added. -- BERNAMA
