Report blames drainage system leaks for fatal landslide


KUALA LUMPUR: A damaged drainage system and leaking pipes — these are the major factors that contributed to the devastating Bukit Antarabangsa landslide which killed five people on Dec 6 last year.

The Final Landslide Investigation Report, declassified by the Cabinet on Saturday, noted that leaking water pipelines near some abandoned houses along Jalan Wangsa 11 not far from the landslide area contributed to a build-up of high-pore water pressure in the slope.
