Seriously not getting the point. I'm not defending the operator at all yet you keep coming back to this and absolving incompetent authorities.

Authorities are aware of frequent landslides, as well of booming activity on the hillside. This disaster shows not enough has been done to ensure safety.

I am no lawman, here my opinion again to your question.

Circumstantial.
If you can prove negligence by the landlord, that led to the tenant death due to flooding.

Note the duty of care here (landlord) is NOT how/ what caused the flooding, it is circumstances (any negligence on landlord part) leading to his death due to the flooding.

Just one example.

In Selongor service apartment, if a landlord panai panai disarm the door closers at main door, yard door or some even change the fire door to Upvc collapsable door at yard (due to space saving), if a fire broke up say corridor near the unit, neighbour etc tenants charcoaled. There is a reason why its called 2 hour fire rated door (why not 1,5, 6 hour). This is negligence on the landlord, if shit happens.

One more, partitioning at living room with combustible material. Yes, extra room for rental more money. Good luck, nothing happen you get to keep the rent money, shit happen you lose your underwear. Illegal renting is one matter, negligence leading to death is another. Doesn't matter who, where from, how, what caused of fire.

Never mess with the sprinkles provided in your unit. Live with all that, its commercial title dwelling that you are residing

are you familiar with hearsay?

A say he got ask

B says he never ask

this gonna be good
