Unsafe building

From Neraca

My house, in the Mangun Jaya II housing complex, Blok G11 No
19 in Tambun, Bekasi, West Java, collapsed a few weeks ago. The
weather was fine. The calamity was not caused by an earth-quake.
Fortunately, when the incident occurred nobody was home.

We have lived in this house for two years. I bought the house
through the BTN (State Savings Bank) credit scheme, and the
developer of the complex is PT Panca Muara Jaya.

The cement bricks supporting the roof crumbled and hit the
ceiling. Our bedroom and the bathroom were damaged.

How could this happen? Who is responsible for this
catastrophe? Is it BTN or the developer? I would like to appeal
to developers not to think of profit only, but more importantly,
the safety aspect should be given much more consideration.
