residents claim slow pace of repairs led to second incident. About
residents of Pangsapuri Beringin in Puchong, here had to vacate their
apartment units yesterday when a nearby hill slope collapsed for the
second time this year. The first incident occurred on Feb 19 and
residents claimed that repairs were completed late, which resulted in
the second landslide about 4.30pm yesterday. They said an official from
the Subang Jaya Municipal Council had directed residents of Block B of
the apartments to evacuate to a hall nearby. Resident Siti Zaleha Dalli,
38, described this landslide as even worse than the first one. “I was
told about the incident at about 4.30pm by my son before I noticed that a
large part of the hill slope next to the building had collapsed. I was
made to understand that a sewage pipe and a water pipe had burst, which
aggravated the situation. The landslide was very near my unit,” said
Siti Zaleha, who expressed disappointment at the slow pace of repairs
following the first landslide. “When such things happen, we cannot sleep
peacefully for fear that our lives may be in danger. If it rains, we
will be more worried because the soil will sink.” Another resident, L.
Vijayan, 31, also expressed disappointment claiming repairs on the
temporary retaining wall were a short-term solution. “About 2am, I came
to learn that there was a burst pipe. It was raining heavily then, but I
did not expect the situation to turn this bad because I thought the
temporary retaining wall could sustain the pressure.” A check revealed
that a section of the landslide had affected the back of a row of
terrace-houses located near Block B. Assistant Director of Operations of
the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department Mohd Sani Harul said there were
no casualties. The cause of the incident was still being investigated.
