Several families at Pangsapuri Damai Perdana in Cheras have decided to relocate due to safety concerns following a landslide near their apartment last month. Residents are taking advantage of the weekend to gather their belongings and prepare to leave their homes, according to a report. Private sector worker Selamat Mat Zain, 48, cited worry for his family's safety as the reason for his decision to move out.
Despite being allowed to return to the apartment, he expressed a lack of assurance regarding the safety of the area. He noted that no repair works have been conducted following the incident. Other residents are also facing issues such as a lack of water supply. It was previously reported that residents living near the slope at Pangsapuri Damai Perdana were instructed to move following the landslide that occurred on September 22.
The landslide is believed to have been caused by a leaking underground water pipe, with the affected slope estimated to be approximately four meters high.
