KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has expressed shock and sadness over the landslide tragedy which claimed four lives in Jalan Tanjung Bungah, Penang, on Tuesday (June 25).
Through her tweet and latest Facebook entry, Dr Wan Azizah said she closely followed the development of the search-and-rescue operation to find the victims who were buried alive in the incident.
"I pray for strength for the families of the victims involved," she said.
The landslide near a resort in Tanjung Bungah, Penang, was reported to have occurred at 9.45pm and claimed the lives of four Myanmar workers.
They were reportedly hired by the resort owner to build a retaining wall at the site after soil movement was detected in the area over the past week.
The operation was called off after the last body of the four victims was extracted from the site at 4.35am Wednesday (June 26). – Bernama
