By Liza Mohd

Bandar Seri Begawan - A couple and their grandchild escaped injuries when part of the ceiling unexpectedly collapse while they were sleeping in the living room of the Jalan Setia Negara barracks on Sunday night.

According to Dyg Saunah binte Hj Tamit, 63. she, her husband, their grandchild and another child had to sleep in the living room as both bedrooms were damaged due to termites.

The termite attack, which began in Mlay last year, has also caused damages to their doors and bedroom closet and they were forced to transfer items from their room to the living room. They have been living in the barracks since 1976.

The family have been living in fear of collapsing ceilings and also claimed to have been bitten by termite worms falling from above.

Dayang Saunah said that her husband, Awg Abdullah Ismail, 63, who works at the Public Works Department has repeatedly lodged complaints about the problem but it has fallen on deaf ears. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
