Second landslide reported in Sungai Besi, a day after Shah Alam incident

A second landslide has occurred in Sungai Besi, Malaysia, following a recent incident in Shah Alam. The latest landslide took place behind PPR Seri Malaysia near Kampung Malaysia. Large chunks of concrete fell onto a pathway, causing concern among local authorities. Cheras police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Rosdi Daud informed the media that police, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and Fire and Rescue Department personnel have been deployed to the area to assess the situation. No casualties were reported in this incident.

The Sungai Besi landslide follows a similar event just the day before at Persiaran Kosmos, Section U5, in Shah Alam. That landslide damaged a retaining wall and impacted a residential area. Sections of a concrete retaining wall collapsed, exposing the soil beneath a building situated at the top of the slope. Firefighters from the Sungai Besi Fire and Rescue Station joined the response effort to monitor the situation.
