  "summary": "The slope in Paya Terubong's Taman Seri Permai has shown no signs of instability since the recent landslide that killed a doctor, according to Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor Datuk A. Rajendran. The developer has taken steps to reroute a water pipe away from the area of concern, as water flowing down the hill was previously not properly channeled. However, the mayor emphasized the need for continued monitoring, as prolonged rainfall could further weaken the soil and increase the risk of another landslide. MBPP has instructed the project developer to carry out mitigation works to improve safety at the site, and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) and the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) will investigate the incident.",
