DBKL urges responsible lift use after viral clip shows motorcycle inside PPR elevator (VIDEO)

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has called on residents and delivery riders to exercise caution when using public housing amenities, following a viral video showing a motorcycle being driven into a People's Housing Project (PPR) lift. The footage, widely shared on social media, has sparked outrage over safety concerns and property damage.

The rider's identity and the exact location of the building remain unverified. DBKL acknowledged the challenges faced by food delivery riders, but emphasized the importance of respecting rules and maintaining shared facilities. They stressed that functioning elevators are vital for residents, particularly those who are elderly, disabled, pregnant, or have young children.

Regular maintenance and repairs are conducted to ensure passenger safety, but frequent breakdowns strain municipal resources and disrupt daily routines. DBKL urged everyone to be more responsible in their usage, suggesting that residents who frequently complain about broken lifts should consider the impact of careless behavior. The authority reiterated that while they can provide, maintain, and improve facilities, cooperation and concern from all parties are essential to keep them functioning in the long term.
