Tanjung Bungah landslide: ‘DOE rejected developer’s application’


PETALING JAYA: The developer’s application to build a residential project at the site of a massive landslide that took the lives of nine construction workers was rejected by the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry as it was located near a quarry site.

“The development site is located right next to Teik Granite Quarry, a permanent granite quarry that started operations in 1960,” the ministry said in a statement yesterday.
