KUALA KUBU BARU: At least 21 campers have lost their lives and 12 others are still missing after a huge landslide struck a campsite within the grounds of an organic farm in Batang Kali here.

In the predawn incident yesterday, nearly half a million cubic metres of soil slid down a slope that started tilting downwards from the edge of the Batang Kali-Genting Highlands trunk road, otherwise known as Route B66, a road maintained by the Selangor state government.
