PUTRAJAYA, Sept 2 – A proposal to compensate the family of the Indian national woman, who fell into the sinkhole on Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur, will be discussed at the Cabinet Meeting on Wednesday, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Dr. Zaliha Mustafa.
“I intend to bring this matter to the Cabinet Meeting next week,” she told reporters on Sunday.
Yesterday, Dr. Zaliha was reported saying that the government is prepared to consider providing compensation after the search and rescue (SAR) operation for the 48-year-old woman was halted on its ninth day.
G. Vijaya Lakshmi, a tourist from Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India, who was on vacation with her family in Malaysia, fell into the eight-metre-deep sinkhole on Aug 23 while walking in the area.
