KANA from Bangsar is concerned about the health and safety hazards posed by an abandoned house in his
neighbourhood.

A two-storey linked house at No 1, Jalan Pudina, Bangsar (pic) has been left abandoned for about five to six months. As there is no  one maintaining this particular house, its compound has become overgrown with grass — making it a breeding ground for mosquitoes and even snakes.

A STORM of controversy is brewing over two development projects in upscale Bangsar. One is a project that has been put on hold by the Federal Territories Ministry following safety concerns by residents.

The other, meanwhile, is causing consternation to residents over its ambitious development plan on a relatively small plot of land.

FOUR South American robbers grabbed RM15,000 from a bank in Lucky Gardens, Bangsar yesterday but the ones who got away with most of it were Malaysian bystanders.

The public cash-grabbing frenzy broke out when one of the robbers, in his bid to elude bank staff and security, scattered notes amounting to RM14,000.

The robber, 45, was captured. His three accomplices escaped. Only RM1,000 of the RM15,000 that was originally in a bag was recovered.
