DOSH awaits full mitigation plan for fatal Paya Terubong landslide
GEORGE TOWN: The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is expected to receive the complete mitigation plan for the Taman Seri Rambai landslide in Paya Terubong tomorrow.
The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) in Penang is awaiting the full mitigation plan for the fatal landslide at Taman Seri Rambai in Paya Terubong. The landslide, which occurred on October 25, claimed the life of 73-year-old Dr Wong Kar Lin. According to Heng Mooi Lye, chairman of the State Local Government Committee, the developer's civil engineering firm, Aptitude Consulting Engineers Sdn Bhd, is the project's superintending officer and expected to submit the complete documentation and formal application for mitigation and repair works.
The incident report submitted by the developer's geotechnical engineer, WYA Consulting Engineers Sdn Bhd, on November 5, was requested by DOSH's investigation and prosecution section. The punitive action against the developer will depend on the findings of DOSH's ongoing investigation. The landslide occurred on land owned by the developer and the landowner of a nearby condominium and road development, leading to potential legal consequences.
A state inter-agency meeting on November 2 discussed the ongoing investigation and mitigation measures, but liability and negligence determination awaited DOSH's completion of its investigation.
