ARAVINTHANFROM rotten floorboards to leaky roofs, the ancestral home of a family in Temangan, Kelantan, which housed three generations for nearly 40 years, is on the brink of collapse, reported Harian Metro. Zainuddin Che Nik, 45, said their once-beloved home was now not only in a state of disrepair but also posing serious potential safety risks for his family. “Many parts of the walls also have holes where venomous animals such as cobras enter occasionally, especially at night, cau­sing me to worry about our safety. “During storms and heavy rain, the roof in the kitchen area also leaks,” he said. He also has to care for his bedridden mother, who suffered from a stroke in the past and has diabetes, high blood pressure, as well as vision and hearing problems.
