Clerk: I need to drive
PENANG: Despite plunging six floors down a multi-storey car park in her car, Jenny Chan is determined to get behind the steering wheel again soon as she recovers from her broken arm.
“I have no choice as I need to drive to work,” said Chan, 27, a clerk, who survived the 18m fall on Thursday in which her Proton Iswara was wrecked.
She was negotiating a sharp turn at the car park of her Mutiara Heights flat in Jelutong as she was leaving for work at about 8.15am when her car rammed into the 0.4m high wall, said Chan from her hospital bed here yesterday.
Mutiara Heights residents association chairman Mohd Ghani Abd Jiman said this was the fourth incident where cars had rammed into the carpark wall, since residents moved into the two blocks of flats in May last year.

Property management company, Uda Bina Sdn Bhd's manager S.H. Goh said: “We will also have engineers come up with measures to ensure that such a thing does not happen again.”
Penang Municipal Council president Datuk Zainal Rahim Seman said they would find out if the car park was built according to safety specification.
