Landslide forces Cheras apartment residents out of their homes, underground water leak suspected

Residents of Bandar Damai Perdana in Cheras were evacuated following a landslide near their apartment block, suspected to have been triggered by an underground water leak.

The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department responded to the incident and found a 4.57-meter-high slope had collapsed, with soil moving approximately 0.91 meters.

Continuous monitoring of the situation is underway to ensure safety, with no injuries reported and the Public Works Department notified for further action.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 — Residents of an apartment block in Bandar Damai Perdana, Cheras, were ordered to evacuate their homes last night following a landslide near the building, believed to have been caused by an underground water leak.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant operations director Ashrul Riezal Asbar said the on-site operations commander ordered residents near Block A of the apartment complex to immediately evacuate their homes as a precautionary measure.

He said the department received an emergency call regarding the incident at 9:03pm, and a team of five personnel with a fire engine from Bandar Tun Hussein Onn Fire and Rescue Station was deployed to the scene.

He added that the rescue team, arriving eight minutes later, found that a landslide involving a 4.57-metre-high slope had occurred.

“The distance the soil slid into the collapse area was approximately 0.91 metre,” he said in a statement last night.

Ashrul Riezal said observations revealed that water was still flowing in the area, though no further soil movement had been detected by the rescue team so far.

“Monitoring of the soil condition and water flow is actively being carried out to ensure safety at the scene,” he said.

He noted that there were no casualties or injuries resulting from the incident, and the Public Works Department has been informed for further action. — Bernama
