DBKL urges responsible lift use after viral clip shows motorcycle inside PPR elevator (VIDEO)

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — City Hall (DBKL) has urged residents and delivery riders to treat public housing amenities with care, following a viral video showing an individual riding a motorcycle into a People’s Housing Project (PPR) lift.

The closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, which circulated widely across social media, sparked public outrage over safety hazards and property damage. Neither the identity of the rider nor the precise location of the building has been independently verified.

In a statement, DBKL did not call out the individual but addressed the broader habit of rolling motorcycles and electric scooters into residential elevators to expedite doorstep deliveries.

“DBKL understands the demands of a food delivery rider’s job and appreciates their role in making city life easier.

“But the convenience of earning a living should go hand in hand with the responsibility to respect the rules and look after shared facilities,” DBKL said.

City Hall stressed that functioning elevators are an essential lifeline for public housing (PA) and PPR residents, especially senior citizens, persons with disabilities (OKU), expectant mothers, and young families. It added that ongoing maintenance, repairs, and refurbishment works are carried out regularly to ensure passenger safety.

The authority noted that frequent breakdowns drain municipal resources and severely disrupt residents’ daily routines.

“Some damage can actually be avoided if every user is more responsible,” the statement said, questioning whether residents who frequently lament broken lifts consider the toll of careless usage.

DBKL reiterated that earning a living must not compromise civic regulations or communal infrastructure.

“DBKL can provide, maintain and improve facilities, but cooperation and concern from all parties are needed to keep them working in the long term,” it said, adding that safeguarding public amenities reflects the civic responsibility expected of urban dwellers.

吉隆坡，11月1日讯——吉隆坡市政局（DBKL）敦促居民和外卖骑手爱护公共房屋设施。此前，一段视频在网上疯传，视频显示有人骑着摩托车进入人民组屋（PPR）的电梯。

这段闭路电视监控录像在社交媒体上广泛传播，引发了公众对安全隐患和财产损失的强烈愤慨。目前，骑车人的身份和建筑物的具体位置均未得到独立核实。

吉隆坡市政局在一份声明中没有点名批评个人，而是谈到了将摩托车和电动滑板车推入住宅电梯以加快送货上门速度的普遍做法。

“吉隆坡市政局了解外卖骑手的工作要求，并赞赏他们为让城市生活更便捷所发挥的作用。

“但是，谋生的便利应该与遵守规则和爱护公共设施的责任并存，”吉隆坡市政局表示。

市政厅强调，正常运转的电梯是公共住房和人民组屋居民的重要生命线，尤其对老年人、残疾人、孕妇和年轻家庭而言更是如此。市政厅还表示，会定期进行维护、维修和翻新工作，以确保乘客安全。

当局指出，频繁的故障会消耗市政资源，并严重扰乱居民的日常生活。

声明称：“如果每个用户都更加负责，一些损失实际上是可以避免的。”声明质疑经常抱怨电梯故障的居民是否考虑过粗心使用造成的损失。

吉隆坡市政局重申，谋生不应损害市政法规或公共基础设施。

“吉隆坡市政局可以提供、维护和改善公共设施，但要使其长期有效运作，需要各方的合作和关注，”该机构表示，并补充说，维护公共设施体现了城市居民应尽的公民责任。
