Foh Sang residents say affected

Kota Kinabalu: Residential areas and a shop in Foh Sang are reported to have incurred damage due to the construction of foundation groundworks of the Foh Sang Multi-storey Car Park in the neighbourhood.

One of the residents, Pang, claimed the concrete floor of his house had sunk due to the underground erosion caused by construction works of the said multi-storey car park (pic).

Pang said his living room and dining room had sunk causing cracks to the walls and ceiling of the house. He feared that if the construction continued, the damage might become more severe.
