About Highland Towers
Highland Towers was a residential complex located in Selangor, Malaysia. It was three 13-story buildings occupied by the residents until the day of tragically collapsing on 11 December 1993. The collapse caused the death of 48 people present in the building at the time of tragedy while only two people were rescued safely. The cause of the collapse was said to be the landslide due to continuous rainfall for two weeks. Also the construction of the Bukit Antarabangsa Development Project just behind the tower and cutting of trees in a large number as a result of which the soil in the area became susceptible to land erosion. Though only block number one was collapsed other two buildings block number two and three were abundant by the residents and they filed a lawsuit against the developers of the building.
