KUALA LUMPUR: The Bukit Setiawangsa landslip was likely caused by the unsuitable slope protection method used for the hill, according to experts.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Assoc Prof Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin said the wall used to protect the slope was known as a “shotcrete” wall which prevents water from entering the soil.
