Families flee homes as wall falls


SHAH ALAM: An entire row of homes in Seksyen 7 here has been declared a “disaster zone” and a dozen families have been ordered to evacuate the area after a landslip triggered massive craters in the ground.

Measuring up to half a metre, the holes appeared behind the row of homes in Jalan Plumbum 7/101 as a 100m-long retaining wall toppled over, resulting in cracks appearing in the houses.
