GEORGE TOWN: Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) has urged the authorities to set up a commission of inquiry to identify the cause of the landslide at a campsite at Father's Organic Farm in Gohtong Jaya near Batang Kali, Selangor.
Its president R. Meenakshi said the inquiry should be conducted transparently and its findings made public.
"How could a campsite be allowed in a hilly area? Photographs show that a major slope failure occurred under the nearby highway in that part of the campsite," she said in a statement today .
