CAMERON HIGHLANDS: Having identified 21,000 landslide-prone areas nationwide and in view of the current inter-monsoon season, the Works Ministry has asked the public to look out for “early warning signs” for landslides in their residential areas.

Among the signs are new or widening cracks on structures in or outside the home; to be wary of concentrated water overflowing onto slopes; bulges on cement or concrete surfaces of slopes or signs of soil erosion.
