Landslide partially buries car after downpour
KUALA LUMPUR: A car was partially buried in a minor landslide at Jalan Wangsa 7, Bukit Antarabangsa, near here.
The incident occurred around 5.30pm yesterday following heavy rainfall for the past few days in the area.
Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Jalil Hassan said no one was hurt in the incident but a few policemen had been placed in the area as a precautionary measure.
“The landslide is a small one and the soil has been cleared,” he said when contacted yesterday.
Bukit Antarabangsa had been hit by landslides previously, causing deaths and damages to properties.
The latest was in December last year when a landslide claimed five lives and damaged 14 houses.
