We’ll investigate our team whether they are on stand by or not . The monitoring is under Manpower Dept, starting from escalator machines, lift, etc,” he told.Based on temporary report, the lift gets maintenance from technical officer. Nevertheless, we have to find out it.
“As I heard, the lift wire is not broken off, but just off. Perhaps, there is a mistake in its installation,” he assumed.
In future, the building management will be appealed to routinely maintain the building.
“Please fix it up,” he stressed.
