High Drama at XXX Condo

BY LEANNE WHY?
--------------------------------------------

PETALING JAYA: The serene atmosphere was shattered by a loud explosion around 9+ pm last night. According to a resident, she did not investigate after she heard the explosions as she heard similar explosions the night before and found that they were from a fireworks display at the stadium next door.

It was only after hearing the continuous sound of siren that she went to her balcony to investigate. To her shock, she saw a car in flames. The bomba arrived and put out the fire. The car was parked just outside the perimeter of the condo. She was informed later that the cars parked in front and behind the flaming car were unfortunately affected by the event i.e. the car tyres melted. Fortunately there was no casualty.

She was told later that the make of the car is a Nissan X-Trail. The cause of the explosion is yet to be determined at press time. It seemed that it is suspected arson but the claim is yet to be substantiated.

This is yet another dramatic event in a series of events that has rocked this condo since July with the swimming pool issue still unresolved. Since the drowning of an eight year old school girl then, there followed a series of burglaries that hit an all time high of seven burglaries in a day on 1st December, that culminated into a resident showdown with management at a press conference held only last Saturday. However, management did not turn up claiming that they were not invited for the said press conference.

As of press time, this writer has yet to approach the management and the authorities for a statement.

Certainly, there is never a dull moment for residents in XXX Condo.

Disclaimer: The report is written from the statement of a single eye witness and the second-hand info conveyed by the said witness has yet to be substantiated. Further details of the event have yet to be established.
