KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 – The sinkhole in Jalan Masjid India that occurred last Friday, less than 50 metres away from the flats at the Malayan Mansion, has left residents of its 160 units unable to sleep at night due to concerns for their safety.
The situation has been worsened by recent heavy rainfall, which residents fear may further compromise the stability of the ground in the affected area.
Resident Suraya Syakila Abdullah, 57, said that so far, there has been no directive from the authorities for the residents to evacuate their homes, and she herself does not plan to move as she believes the area is still safe.
“This incident is indeed worrying, especially since this is the second sinkhole in the same location.
