Engineer tells court the 2008 Bkt Antarabangsa landslide likely caused by water pipe leaks

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told Monday that the main cause of the Dec 6, 2008 Bukit Antarabangsa landslide was most likely due to water leakage from Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd's (Syabas) active water pipes.

Civil Engineer Datuk Dr Azhaari Muhamad, 59, said the leaking pipes would have seeped into the soil gradually over years, causing the land to become increasingly unstable and unsafe.
