A law should be made that anyone whose building collapse will spend a minimum of 10years in jail with no option of fine because clients are the main culprits behind it. Just because baba Latif said he can build 3 storey building with 10m you handed a quack the contract then you are to blame.

I don't know how to console my grieving heart at your departure
Mourning is not the best way to say goodbye to you, but I don't know how to control-myself

Why would anyone embark on building such a massive structure and yet cut corners?
Both the developer/owner and contractors are guilty!
