PETALING JAYA: A sinkhole that is estimated to be 5m wide and a metre deep has appeared near the entrance to KLIA's Bunga Raya Complex, said the Works Ministry.

In a statement on Wednesday (Sept 25), the ministry said the incident occured at the area between the entrance and exit of the Bunga Raya Complex, which is used by VIP guests and dignitaries when they fly off or arrive at KLIA.

"The road remains accessible to all vehicles.

"However, a traffic management plan has been implemented in the sinkhole area," read the statement.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is currently investigating a sewage pipe which is suspected to be leaking, and to determine whether this could be the cause of the sinkhole, said the Works Ministry.

Other steps taken include site monitoring and inspection by relevant authorities, it added.

A detailed report will be issued by MAHB after the investigation is completed.

The road, classified as a "protocol road", is not under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Department and Roadcare (the road maintenance contractor).
