A five-metre-high retaining wall collapsed following heavy rain, causing a landslide that damaged six vehicles in Kajang this evening. The incident, which took place around 5pm, destroyed three cars and three motorcycles parked along Jalan Nilam. Kajang police chief Assistant Commissioner Naazron Abdul Yusof stated that the retaining wall failed to withstand soil movement due to the heavy rain, which began around 3pm.

The damaged vehicles included a Proton Saga, Proton Satria, and Proton Wira Aeroback, as well as a Yamaha Nouvo, Honda Wave, and Yamaha Lagenda motorcycle. No casualties or injuries were reported. The exact cause of the landslide is still under investigation by the relevant authorities. Security company operations officer Wan Nabihah Ramly, who was on duty near the site, described the incident as the first she had witnessed in the area and attributed it to the prolonged rainfall weakening the soil.
