DHAKA: Millions of people were still left without electricity and any means of communication, and relief materials had not reached many remote areas where families were stranded in flooded villages for days.
KUCHING: The sinkhole incident on Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur, was caused by geographical and soil structure factors, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof .
He explained that the limestone soil composition in the area disrupts the flow of underground water, leading to soil instability and ultimately resulting in the formation of the sinkhole."This phenomenon doesn’t only happen in Malaysia, but also around the world, particularly in areas with limestone and specific geological conditions,” he said after launching the Convention Against Worker Exploitation here Sunday .
Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, expressed hope that with advanced technology in the future, such incidents could be reduced, and early preventive measures could be taken. "Although we cannot predict precisely when a sinkhole will occur, with the right knowledge and technology, we can take necessary steps to protect communities and mitigate the impact of these incidents," he added.
On Friday, a tourist from India, identified as Vijayalaksmi, 48, fell into an eight-metre-deep sinkhole after the ground gave way when she was walking in the area in front of Malayan Mansion at 8.22am. - BernamaChallenging search continues on for sinkhole victimDBKL directed to extend condolences to family of sinkhole victim, says AnwarNavy vessel KD Pendekar evacuated after leak off Johor coast
