Japanese authorities told tens of thousands of people to evacuate the quake-hit region of Ishikawa on Saturday as 'unprecedented' rains triggered floods and landslides.
CAMERON HIGHLANDS: The landslide incident in Kampung Raja, Blue Valley here, occurred in the Sungai Wi D Forest Reserve area, which had been illegally cleared by a vegetable farm operator since last year, despite facing enforcement actions.
"The settler applied for a forest land use permit, but the Forestry Department did not approve due to the steep slope exceeding 35 degrees. This decision was made to mitigate potential hazards, particularly landslides, especially during periods of heavy rainfall,” he told a press conference at the Disaster Control Centre at the incident site, here on Saturday .
