Highland Towers: 25 years on and not forgotten

Marking its 25th anniversary, former Highland Towers residents turned up to commemorate the lives lost after Tower One of the Highland Tower blocks in Ulu Klang collapsed, killing 48 people.

I was one of the rescuers during that time. I remember Dr Ian Gray so much. now It has made me a person who has helped so many, including the Cave rescue in Thailand, and most recently the British backpacker in Cambodia. not many people know what its like to save others until you do it. Highland towers gave me a new light of life. and I have ever since been dedicated to help others. Since this tragedy I have a PHD in criminology and currently I work with the Police and Teach Urban Tactical Search &Rescue. It was amazing to see how all walks of life came together for this.

It is a bitter memory for their loved ones. I understand what they are going through. Hopefully an incident like this does not occur again. For those who perished in this tragedy, may their souls rest in peace.

I remember this happening so well.
Very very sad.
As the speaker says, it was a vertical kampong.

Saya berharab zuraida supaya meroboh merendah kan tanah dan membuat rumah b40 dan membina rumah mampu milik supaya tidak nampak kawasan highland tower yang tidak berapa nak sihat kita mahu kan negara yang maju

You nak buat rumah lagi? Rendah tanah pun, tanah sana masih lembut. Perlu buat foundation kukuh sebelum boleh buat rumah di tanah sana. Tak mahu Highlandtower 2.0.
