Floods: Landslide occurs in Pengerang, no injuries occurred


KOTA TINGGI: A landslide has occurred near Taman Perumahan Bukit Pelali, Pengerang, believed to be caused by the continuous heavy rain in the district.

"The first incident occurred in January last year, and right now the road has been closed for investigations by the housing developers.

"The incident did not involve any victims or cause any harm to the residents nearby," he said in a statement here on Sunday (Jan 2).

He added that the incident occurred at about 1pm on Sunday.
