Taking to TikTok, a netizen shared a video showing the aftermath of a baffling act of negligence at a condominium near Kepong. The video reveals several vehicles damaged by trash thrown off a balcony by a resident, sparking outrage and concern among viewers.
The TikToker, who documented the incident, expressed sympathy for the affected vehicle owners, saying, "I pity those who parked their vehicle here. I wonder what the insurance situation will be like for these owners."
The video quickly garnered attention, with numerous netizens sharing their own frustrating experiences with similar incidents. One commenter revealed, "It is the same in my residency. Tissues, chicken bones, cotton buds, cigarette butts and more. Certain owners behave this way."
Another user added, "As a resident, we tend to avoid parking in areas like this. This sentiment was echoed by many, highlighting the widespread issue of irresponsible behavior by certain residents in shared living spaces."
The discussion then turned to the building management's responsibility in such scenarios. One user suggested that the building management should be held accountable. However, this sparked a debate about the legalities involved. "Court of jurisdiction cant uphold this clause under the Strata Management Act 2013 if there is negligence on behalf of management.
But in this case, it is clearly 'beyond control' and can be categorized as vandalism," added the commenter, pointing out the complexities of addressing such incidents legally.
This incident underscores the importance of community awareness and responsibility in shared living environments. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of current management and legal frameworks in handling such issues. As the video continues to circulate, it serves as a reminder for residents to be mindful of their actions and their impact on their neighbors.
