    More 
    to the problem than expected 30/10/2008 The Malay Mail
 What was supposed to be a simple elevator problem turned into more than what 
    the residents of Taman Sentul Utama on Jalan Dato Senu 26 expected. While 
    investigating with the Social Security Organisation in Block 211 in January, 
    residents found the elevator could be fixed for RM12,000, an amount that was 
    deemed affordable. They pooled their resources to make their living quarters 
    a better place for everyone.
