GEORGE TOWN: The freak landslide which took the lives of four foreign workers at a resort along Jalan Batu Ferringhi was a construction mishap instead, says Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor Datuk Yew Tung Seang (pic). 

Yew said the incident occurred due to the collapse of the retaining wall at the resort’s premises.
