Prof: Assess soil, engineering parameters before development

PETALING JAYA: The Batang Kali landslide tragedy proves that past development history needs to be well documented and assessed for future development planning, says Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Faculty of Engineering dean Prof Dr Edy Tonnizam Mohamad.

This is due to the many landslides in the country involving cut-and-filled soil, he said.
