GEORGE TOWN: About 10 mid-sized boulders, earth and sand crashed down from a hill slope onto the road in Pearl Hill, an upscale neighbourhood in Tanjung Bungah, on Monday.

But Public Works Department was so bogged down with the Teluk Bahang landslide on Monday that staff could only clear the landslide in Pearl Hill on Wednesday.
