GEORGE TOWN: Houses in Hong Seng Estate off Jalan Mount Erskine are in danger of collapsing due to land erosion leading to recurring landslips.

Pulau Tikus assemblyman Yap Soo Huey said although remedial work had been carried out on the area which was affected by a landslip last month, it was no longer safe for residents on the higher slopes of the estate to continue staying there.
