Keeping a close watch on highlands

With the rainy season approaching soon, people living on or near hills and slopes are being reminded to keep a watchful eye for signs of potential landslides.

THESE days, most people drive past the road leading to Highland Towers in Ulu Klang without even giving the two evacuated blocks a glance.

The two towers are still standing, a haunting and painful reminder of the tragedy of Dec 11, 1993, when a third tower came crashing down after a landslide, snatching the lives of 48 people.
