A split second, a lifetime of loss: Family recalls fatal Paya Terubong landslide

PETALING JAYA, Oct 25 — A 73-year-old doctor was killed when a landslide struck his family's home in Taman Seri Rambai, Paya Terubong, trapping him beneath collapsed concrete.

The victim, identified as Wong Kar Lin, died when a landslide hit the family’s residence at about 8.36am, trapping him beneath rubble in the kitchen while other family members managed to flee.

Speaking at the scene, Wong’s mother-in-law, Wong Poh Lim, who is in her 80s, recalled the terrifying moments leading up to the incident, Berita Harian (BH) reported

She said she had been taking a shower in an upstairs bathroom when her daughter, Chang Mei Nuo, 68, alerted her to the landslide.

“We were shocked and immediately ran outside to save ourselves. Everything happened so quickly,” she told BH.

However, by the time they reached the ground floor, they discovered that Wong had already been pinned beneath collapsed concrete.

Poh Lim said only the three of them were at home when the landslide occurred, while the couple’s four children live elsewhere.

She described Wong as a devoted son-in-law, adding that his loss was especially painful after more than 30 years together under the same roof.

Although both she and her daughter escaped unhurt, she said she remained deeply shaken by the tragedy.

For Chang, the loss of her husband was difficult to put into words. She said she was nevertheless relieved that rescuers managed to recover Wong's body intact from beneath the rubble.

Fire and Rescue Department personnel retrieved Wong’s body at about 11.21am, nearly three hours after the landslide struck.

八打灵再也，10月25日讯——一名73岁的医生在巴耶特鲁邦斯里兰拜花园的家中遭遇山体滑坡，被倒塌的混凝土掩埋身亡。

受害者被确认为黄嘉林，当天上午 8 点 36 分左右，山体滑坡袭击了他家的住所，他被困在厨房的废墟下，而其他家庭成员设法逃了出来。

据《每日新闻》（Berita Harian，简称BH）报道，在现场，黄某的婆婆黄宝琳（Wong Poh Lim）女士（已年过八旬）回忆了事发前令人恐惧的时刻。

她说，当时她正在楼上的浴室洗澡，她68岁的女儿张美诺提醒她发生了山体滑坡。

“我们当时吓坏了，立刻跑到外面逃命。一切发生得太快了，”她告诉BH。

然而，当他们到达一楼时，却发现黄已经被压在倒塌的混凝土下面了。

Poh Lim表示，山体滑坡发生时，只有他们三人在家，而他们的四个孩子住在别处。

她形容黄是一位孝顺的女婿，并补充说，两人在同一屋檐下生活了30多年，他的离世尤其令人痛心。

虽然她和女儿都毫发无损地逃脱了，但她说这场悲剧仍然让她深受打击。

对张女士来说，失去丈夫的痛苦难以言表。她说，尽管如此，她还是感到欣慰，救援人员最终从废墟下找到了黄先生的遗体，而且遗体完好无损。

消防救援部门人员于上午 11 点 21 分左右找到了黄的遗体，距离山体滑坡发生已近三个小时。
