Damai Perdana residents seek official safety assurance after landslide

Residents of Pangsapuri Damai Perdana 2 have called for official safety assurances from management and local authorities following a landslide incident. Permission letters permitting residents to return home have been issued, but concerns arise from a clause stating that returning to the premises is at their own risk. This clause has raised doubts about safety after the landslide occurred a week ago.

Lina Ridzuan, a 43-year-old resident, expressed her frustration with the lack of official updates from the Joint Management Body and the absence of concern about water supply restoration. Another resident, Anun Sharif, 74, stated that she was too afraid to return to her home and has been staying with her child. Water supply to Blocks C and D has been cut off for a week, causing further inconvenience for residents who must rely on their children for basic needs.

The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department received an emergency call regarding the incident at 9:03 PM and believes the landslide was caused by an underground water pipe leak.
