Original caption

04 Aug 2026: A couple claimed they heard what sounded like muffled cries and banging noises coming from a utility shaft near their apartment unit in Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya. The incident allegedly occurred on Saturday (Aug 1) night. Fearing that someone could be trapped or in danger, they alerted police and the building's security personnel after claiming the sounds continued for several hours and appeared to respond when they called out. Maintenance staff later inspected the utility shaft on multiple floors but found nothing unusual, concluding the noises were likely caused by the building's piping system. The post has since gone viral, with some social media users speculating about the source of the noises, while others urged the authorities to carry out additional checks to ensure no one was in danger. @thesundaily #theSun #theSunMY #DamansaraPerdana #PetalingJaya
