PETALING JAYA: 

A key road connecting Cameron Highlands and Simpang Pulai was reopened at noon after being closed due to an early morning landslide.

Cameron Highlands police chief Azri Ramli said the landslide, reported at around 2am, saw Jalan Kampung Raja blocked by earth and fallen trees.

“Cleanup work has been completed, but the relevant authorities are still monitoring the location,” he said, reported Bernama.
