Three homes hit by mudslide after heavy rain in Sungai Petani

Three houses in Kampung Serukam, Sungai Petani, experienced a mudslide due to heavy rain, disrupting residents as water and mud inundated homes.

One resident recounted how her in-laws' home was swamped with water, damaging possessions, but fortunately, they were relocated for safety beforehand.

Scientex SP Astana, the company overseeing the nearby housing project site where the collapse occurred, confirmed a similar past incident and is currently aiding in cleanup efforts and assessing damage.

Discussions are ongoing regarding relocating residents affected by the project's earthworks phase.

SUNGAI PETANI, Oct 1 — Three houses in Kampung Serukam here were affected by a mudslide following heavy rain yesterday afternoon.

The incident is believed to have occurred after heavy rain began at about 12.30pm, causing a collapse at a nearby housing project site, before water and mud flowed into residents’ homes.

One of the victims, Siti Aishah Hassan, 44, said her parents-in-law’s house was inundated with water to a depth of about 0.5 metres, but both had been moved to a safe location before the incident as they had suffered strokes.

“I cannot imagine what would have happened if my parents-in-law had been in the house. The heavy rain caused the water to flow strongly and rapidly, and it rose within a very short time.

“Household furnishings and electrical appliances, including the refrigerator and washing machine, were overturned, while other belongings were scattered. The inside of the house was also covered in mud,” she told reporters here.

She said her brother-in-law, Rashid Khamis, 44, who was asleep in the lower part of the house, also managed to save himself after realising that water and mud had entered the house.

Meanwhile, Scientex SP Astana project site supervisor Mohd Haniff Ramli said three houses were affected in the incident, including two located within the project site.

“About a year ago, a similar incident also occurred. We sent a team to clean the affected houses and also cleared the road.

“For now, the residents’ houses are being cleaned. After this, we will assess the damage for further action,” he said.

It is understood that the affected residents living within the project site had been informed of a proposal to relocate them to another location, but the matter is still being negotiated between both parties.

The housing project is currently in the earthworks and construction phase. — Bernama

位于双溪大年Kampung Serukam的三栋房屋因暴雨发生泥石流，洪水和泥浆淹没了房屋，给居民的生活造成了影响。

一位居民讲述了她公婆家被洪水淹没，财物受损的情况，但幸运的是，他们事先被转移到了安全地带。

负责附近住宅项目工地（坍塌事故发生地）的 Scientex SP Astana 公司证实，过去也发生过类似事件，目前正在协助清理工作和评估损失。

关于安置受项目土方工程阶段影响的居民的讨论仍在进行中。

双溪大年，10月1日讯——昨日下午暴雨引发泥石流，导致双溪大年甘榜瑟鲁甘的三栋房屋受损。

据信，这起事件发生在下午 12 点 30 分左右，当时开始下大雨，导致附近一个住宅项目工地发生坍塌，随后水和泥浆涌入居民家中。

其中一名受害者，44 岁的 Siti Aishah Hassan 说，她的公婆家被水淹没了约 0.5 米深，但由于他们都曾中风，所以在事故发生前已被转移到安全的地方。

“我无法想象如果我的岳父母当时在家会发生什么。暴雨导致水流湍急，水位在很短的时间内就上涨了。”

“包括冰箱和洗衣机在内的家具和电器都被掀翻在地，其他物品也散落一地。房子里面也满是泥浆，”她告诉记者。

她说，她的姐夫拉希德·哈米斯（44岁）当时正在房子的下层睡觉，在意识到水和泥浆涌入房子后，也设法自救了。

与此同时，Scientex SP Astana 项目现场主管 Mohd Haniff Ramli 表示，事故中共有三栋房屋受到影响，其中两栋位于项目现场内。

“大约一年前也发生过类似事件。我们派出一支队伍清理了受影响的房屋，并疏通了道路。”

“目前，我们正在清理居民的房屋。之后，我们将评估损失，以便采取进一步行动。”他说道。

据了解，项目用地内的受影响居民已被告知一项将他们搬迁到其他地方的提议，但此事仍在双方协商中。
