The Highland Towers condominium in Hulu Kelang, Malaysia, will be demolished before the year’s end, following a court order approved last week. The building has been abandoned for two decades following a 1993 collapse that killed 48 people. The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) filed the application for demolition. The decision marks a significant step towards resolving the long-standing issue surrounding the structurally unsound and hazardous site. Authorities have deemed demolition necessary due to safety concerns and the building’s deteriorated condition. The demolition is expected to conclude a tragic chapter in the area’s history and allow for potential redevelopment of the land.
