Why Jaya?

I am sure we are all familiar with what happened at the old Jaya Supermarket. For those of you who are still blur on this, basically the old jaya supermarket in section 14 PJ had a runtuhan on May 28th - but not a scheduled one. According to news reports, it was scheduled to be brought down at 6pm by controlled demolition - but something happened to make that happen about 1 hour earlier. The MBPJ and IEM are investigating but so far no results. Why is it taking so long leh? I've seen case studies of other similar incidences like the trade centre in HK - famous case that one, at least among structural and civil engineers - and they had a report out in 1 month! But really, I shouldnt comment. why? because there is little information coming out about the developments in this case! There is something in the newspapers, like stopwork order lifted and residents grumbling and such, but nothing really to give us insight into what happened.

Also my friends asking, 'why la JMC you want to setup a blog for this? Boring la!' But I say, no. Jaya Supermarket, or JS, is an institution of my youth. Growing up in PJ in the 80s I used to go there all the time after school, and sometimes during school also! my nostalgia for that old, ugly building is very strong and i am sad that this is what has become of it - a pile of rubble. But my recollections of old JS I will compile into another post. theres just too many. who can ever forget climbing down that silly spiral staircase? or the super-crowded pineapple IT store? everything also got...even parts for my old 486. why I have a 486 still running is anough for another post!
