# PROBLEM 1 . DRAINAGE
UNCOVERED DRAIN
MOST OF THE DRAIN IN THE APARTMENT ARE UNCOVERED WHICH WILL EASILY MAKE PEOPLE FALL DOWN ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S VERY DARK AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE LIGHTNING OF THE APARTMENT IS VERY DARK ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.
HOWEVER, PEOPLE THROW RUBBISH INTO THE DRAIN AND SOMEHOW BY THE BLOWING OF THE WIND,
THE RUBBISH WILL BE BLOWN INTO THE DRAIN WHICH CAUSES THE DRAIN WILL BE CLOGGED WITH TONS OF RUBBISH AND THEREFORE CAUSED THE DRAIN SMELL SMELLY.
CLOGGED DRAIN CAUSED THE WATER CANNOT FLOW THROUGH AND END UP MOSQUITO WILL GROW INSIDE THE DRAIN CAUSED THE PLACE HAVE A LOT OF MOSQUITO AND WILL PRODUCE DISEASE IN THAT AREA.
UNEVEN & BROKEN DRAIN
THE UNEVEN DRAIN IN THE APARTMENT THAT CAUSED PEOPLE TO FALL DOWN EASILY ESPECIALLY DURING NIGHT TIME WHEN THE LIGHTNING OF THE APARTMENT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE
TO NOTICE THERE'S A BROKEN DRAIN.
THE HOLES BETWEEN EACH IRON NET IS TOO BIG. SO, WHEN KIDS WALK ACROSS, THEY
WILL FALL DOWN EASILY BECAUSE THEIR LEGS IS VERY SMALL. ALSO, THE DRAIN CANNOT WITHSTAND PEOPLE WITH HEAVY WEIGHT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SOME PEOPLE WITH HEAVY WEIGHT AS IF THEY DIDNT REALISE IT THEN SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO THEM.
# PROBLEM 2 . FLOORING
SLIPPERY FLOORING
THE FLOORING INSIDE THE APARTMENT WHICH IS THE MIDDLE ( LOBBY ) OF THE APARTMENT ARE MOST SLIPPERY AS THE PICTURE SHOWN ABOVE. THIS SLIPPERY FLOORING IS CAUSED BY THE LEAKAGE OF THE AIR-CONDITIONER ABOVE. HOWEVER, THIS IS SERIOUS MATTER THAT WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO FALL DOWN IF THEY DIDN' T REALISE IT ESPECIALLY THAT NIGHT. CAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT BULB IN THE LOBBY.
THE UNEVEN FLOORING OR DRAIN AS THE PICTURE SHOWN ABOVE. IT WILL EASILY CAUSE PEOPLE TO FALL DOWN CAUSE IT’S SHALLOW. SO, NORMALLY PEOPLE WON’T NOTICE THERE’S A DRAIN
( ESPECIALLY ELDERS AND DURING NIGHT TIME ) BECAUSE THE LOBBY OF THE APARTMENT IS VERY DARK. AND IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR DISABLES TO CROSS SUCH AN UNEVEN FLOORING.
UNEVEN AND HOLES CEMENT FLOORING
ALL THE PARKING LOTS IN THE APARTMENT ARE UNEVEN CONCRETE CEMENT THAT WILL EASILY HURT THE CAR WHEN THEY PARK THEIR CAR. AND WHEN IT'S EASILY CAUSE PEOPLE TO FALL DOWN WHEN THEY GET DOWN FROM THE CAR AND DIDNT REALISE IT.
PEOPLE WILL FALL DOWN EASILY BECAUSE OF THE UNEVEN FLOORING WHEN THEY WALK PASS BY AND ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT THERE'S NO LIGHTBULB IN THE PARKING LOTS WHICH IS VERY DARK.
THE UNEVEN FLOORING CAUSED THE INCREASING OF THE MOSQUITO IN THE APARTMENT.
