Structural checks at Cheras apartment will take several days following landslide, says Selangor exco

Residents of Block D at the Damai Perdana Apartments in Cheras were evacuated after a landslide occurred near the building last night. The evacuation was ordered as a precaution while authorities assessed the stability of the slope and the building's structural integrity. The landslide is believed to have been caused by an underground water leak.

Kajang Municipal Council councillor Tan Kah Hoe stated that multiple technical agencies, including the Public Works Department, Drainage and Irrigation Department, and Minerals and Geoscience Department, are conducting assessments of the affected block. Tan expressed hope that the agencies would finalize their reports as quickly as possible, as the safety of the building's structure is still uncertain. The evacuation affected about 80 residents living in 45 units of the apartment complex.
