PETALING JAYA: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah and Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin conveyed their condolences to the family of former High Court Judge Tan Sri Dr Visu Sinnadurai who passed away on Sunday (Oct 15) at 79.
PETALING JAYA: The deadly Batang Kali landslide tragedy that occurred last year was triggered by a significant rainfall event, not due to anthropogenic activity, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who chaired the Central Disaster Management Committee said the investigation into the tragedy found that it was caused by major cumulative rainfall over a period of five days before the landslide occurred. "In summary, the results of the forensic analysis found that the rainfall event was the main triggering factor as a result of the combination of the amount of major cumulative rainfall for a period of five days and the antecedent rainfall cumulative 30 days before the collapse occurred, which was 118.6mm and 444.8mm respectively.
"The investigation did not find strong evidence showing anthropogenic activity as one of the contributing factors to this landslide event," he said in a statement on Tuesday .Skull and bone found at abandoned ferris wheel site in Melaka
