KUALA LUMPUR: Pieces of zinc were torn from the roof of Block 94, Putra Ria Apartments in Bangsar, and fell on six vehicles and three motorcycles around 5 pm on Saturday.

At least six apartment units were affected by the incident, which occurred during a storm.

Drone footage by the New Straits Times reveals the extent of the damage, showing multiple areas where the roof was ripped off.

Lembah Pantai Resident Representative Council Sub Zone 1 deputy chairman Abdul Haniff Sulaiman said one unit on the 22nd floor required immediate attention as nearly the entire roof was torn off, Bernama reported.

He added that this was the first time such an incident occurred and most owners of the damaged vehicles have reported the incident to him. A roofing contractor has also assessed the damage.

A report was lodged with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and the management company, Intra Harta Consultant Sdn Bhd, also lodged a report.

"Lembah Pantai member of Parliament Fahmi Fadzil has instructed that an operations room be opened for affected residents to lodge necessary reports," Abdul Haniff added.
