The immediate installation of canvas sheets by the Public Works Department (JKR) at the site of yesterday’s landslide in Kuala Lumpur prevented a more serious disaster, police said.
Sentul district police chief ACP Beh Eng Lai said there was a risk of further landslide in the area following heavy rain if such an action was not taken.
“Following the installation of the canvas sheets at the collapsed area by JKR yesterday, we found there was no more soil movement or erosion.
“Installation of the canvas sheets will be completed today before work to install the iron pile begins tomorrow,” he told reporters at the site today.
The landslide yesterday occurred at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy (Maca) and the Malaysian Institute of Integrity (IIM) at Persiaran Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin in Kuala Lumpur.
Beh said an alternative road to Maca will be built once the installation of iron piling at the site is completed.
He also said both the Maca and IIM buildings are safe for use.
