Seanooi,
A LANDSLIDE occurred near Alam Damai, Cheras, on Wednesday evening and residents in the neighbourhood have expressed concern for their safety.
The incident took place on the construction site for a luxury condominium project located adjacent to Taman Damai Rasa.
A resident who contacted StarMetro said cracks began to appear on the road leading to the construction site about a year ago.
“I noticed that part of the pavement and road on the hill slope had collapsed, leaving a deep rut which had been covered with plastic,” he said.
The resident wanted assurances from the local authority that proper action would be taken to prevent further landslides in the area.
“I hope Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will continue to monitor the situation as it affects the safety of residents living in this township,” he added.
When contacted, a spokesman from DBKL’s Enforcement Department confirmed reports of the landslide near Alam Damai.
He said City Hall was alerted by residents who contacted DBKL’s hotline to report the incident.
“We received complaints from residents in Alam Damai, Cheras, at around 7am today and notified our team from the Infrastructure Planning Department to follow-up on the matter,” the spokesman said.
He added that the DBKL team was sent to the scene to assess the situation and investigate the matter.
