After deadly Paya Terubong landslide, Chow says DOSH must finish probe first
GEORGE TOWN, Nov 7 — The Penang state government will decide whether to set up a State Commission of Inquiry (SCI)...
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has stated that the state government will only consider setting up a State Commission of Inquiry (SCI) into the Paya Terubong landslide after the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) concludes its investigation and submits its findings. The landslide, which occurred on October 25 and claimed the life of 73-year-old Dr Wong Kar Lin, has sparked calls for an independent investigation.
Chow said he has yet to receive updates on the DOSH investigation's progress and that a decision on the SCI will only be made once the investigation is complete. The area affected by the landslide remains unsafe, and it is unclear if residents can return to their homes.
