If you driving towards the Damansara Foresta Sales Office heading to Paradesa Tropika / Paradesa Rustica the landslide is just after the Sales Office @ Ithink it is below the Communication Tower.

It looks really bad and now at 11.00 am the land clearing works are in progress and road towards the paradesa Tropika / Paradesa Rustica has been blocked.

Donb';t know if the Local Authority will issue a Stop Work Order for the construction of Damansara Foresta to determine the cause of the landslide.

yeah, saw the landslide just now. driving pass by the area and saw the road was block. it just within less than 100m from the sales office. its on the right hand side of the sales office if you are facing it.

Heard they're calling off the project but not gonna refund to buyer 

The below is captured from the Ho Chin Soon's book titled " Penang Island Golden Triangle", Page 65.

"The new guideline classifies all existing slopes into 4 classes according to their level of risk and impose different requirement ensuring safety to the authority. A summary of the different classes of slopes is shown in the following table

Class 1 - Slope Gradient (less than 15 degree), Risk - Very Low
Class 2 - SG (between 15-25 degree), Risk - Lo
Class 3 - SG (between 25-35 degree), Risk - Medium
Class 4 - SG (> 35 degree), Risk - High

Class 1 slopes are those slopes with a gentle gradient of less than 15 degrees and as such have very low risk of failure, thus minimal control is required and no special engineering review of developent is required.

Class 2 sloper is steeper, so nominal control for development of Class 2 land is required. A developer need ro submit a Geotchnical Design Report to be prepared Professional Engineer (must registered with Board of Engineer Malaysia) with sufficient geotechnical and soil mechanic expereince to access all the stability of the development land, and the immediate surronding area.  He/She must have at least 3 years experience with at least 1 year experience gained in Malaysia.

The above requirement is verified by Prof. Dr Gue See Sew and Ir. Jack Pan.

DF is only built on Class 1 + 2 land, so u make your own judgement.

Interesting to see so many concerned non-DF buyers posting after the landslide

Am a buyer of DF myself,went to check out the site yesterday was just a minor soil erosion infront of Paradesa Rustica,not DF site.after the workers cleared the soil the granite was clearly visible,another evident to prove DF construction is safe on solid hard rock.to other concerned DF buyers ,rest assured everything is fine.

Not hard sandstone? Got picture?
