The day the towers fell


It was the nation’s worst housing tragedy, one that shocked Malaysia to its core.
At about 1.30pm on that fateful Saturday. Rtesidents in Block 1 of Highland Towers in Ulu Klang, Selangor, were going about their weekend.
What happened next was nothing short of catastrophic and sheer devastation.
The tower, one of three 12-storey blocks occupied since 1979, collapsed like a deck of cards as a result of a landslide, killing 48 people and resulting in the evacuation of residents in Block 2 and 3.
It was reported that the earth gave way after 10 days of rainfall that caused the landslide.
Among those killed were former deputy prime minister Tun Musa Hitam’s son Carlos Rashid and daughter in-law Rosina Abu Bakar. ....

Memorials represent communal memory


One flag, one life: American artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg created her art installation titled In America, How Could This Happen in Washington in remembrance of those who have died of Covid-19 in the United States. AP
